Discover Santiago de Compostela VI: Praterías Square


The Praza das Praterías (Silver Jewels Square) is a monumental square and melting pot of architectural styles at the heart of Santiago's Old Town. Here you will be able to see the South façade of the Cathedral, which is Romanesque as well as the façade of its Renaissance cloister. The fountain of the horses in the middle of the square is Baroque (1825)


The Praza das Praterías was named after the many silversmiths who have had their workshops here since the 17th century.
