Spanning nearly 170 hectares, Casco Historico is the historical center of Santiago de Compostela. The stunning city has been rehabilitated over the years and has special protection for everything it encompasses because of the significant historical value it adds. There are still several parts which continue to be utilized as residential areas - the social fabric from the residents there are what continue to sustain the urban growth of the city. In addition to the 6,000+ homes, there are also nearly 3,000 buildings used and preserved for various purposes. As you walk the charming streets, you’ll find examples of breathtaking architecture around every corner.
