More historic buildings in Santiago

Santiago has no shortage of memorable buildings, both civic and religious and although some are frequently given a higher priority than others, many are worth a closer inspection.

This page is under on-going construction, and will describe and illustrate some of the city’s architectural masterpieces not included elsewhere in this guide. As such it will be periodically added to and amended.

Right, a large stone cross or "cruciero" close to Santiago cathedral and the Obradioro square.

Left, this is the church of San Francisco which is part of a monastery of the same name and also sits at the end of San Francisco street.

The stone cross, pictured above, is in close proximity to this church.

Right, an example of one of the many large granite stone buildings found all over the old district of Santiago de Compostela. If my memory serves me correctly this is on part of San Francisco street (or if not, it lays near by) and you can see the large stone cross (picture at the top of the page) in the distance at the end of it.
