The cathedral is an incredible building with its impressive baroque facade and is the culmination for some of a long journey along the Camino to reach Santiago. At the moment it’s best viewed from the outside only as there is major restoration work going on for holy year in 2021 when the work will be completed. It’s still worth visiting the cathedral museum which has some interesting artworks on display. You can also access the cloister and get views out over the square by the cathedral to the surrounding countryside. I’m sure it will be amazing when it’s done but currently the interior is literally a building site!

This large square is effectively the space between the Cathedral's North façade (and exit door) and the Monastery of San Martiño Pinario. These two religious institutions were originally in fierce competition. In fact, the Monastery was built the wrong way round on its plot to make sure its façade would be seen by worshippers leaving the Cathedral. Turn left from the Cathedral exit and you will walk downhill through an archway into the iconic Plaza do Obradoiro; turn the other and the street will take you into the heart of the shopping area in the old city and eventually to the Praza Cervantes. There are nice ornamental gardens in front of the Monastery and plenty of seating on low walls. One of the most important locations in Santiago.
