In the early 9th century, a hermit saw light shining over a forgotten Roman tomb, revealed to be that of the beloved St. James the Greater. A settlement sprung up around the site, and quickly became one of the most important pilgrimages in Christianity. In the 10th century, the Moors completely destroyed the city, which was completely rebuilt in the following century. The Old Town is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, containing Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassicist architecture. The 11th century cathedral is a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture and houses the Pórtico de la Gloria, a jewel of the medieval sculpture. Its Baroque western façade faces the square of Obradoiro, and is considered one of the world´s most beautiful urban areas. When you’re done with the Old Town’s winding streets and many monuments, be sure to treat yourself to Galicia’s most iconic dish: octopus!
