Dating back to the 10th century, Plaza de las Praterias is a stunning town square that can be found on the south facade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. It is renowned for its stunning views of the cathedral’s only remaining Romanesque facade; visitors today will be able to see several Romanesque figures, murals, and statues that have been added over the years such as signs of the zodiac, apostles, angels, Jesus, St. James, King David, and much more. As you walk around the plaza, you’ll find several other historical and architectural marvels that deserve a special mention such as the clock tower, Renaissance medallions, and the Fountain of the Horses which can be found right in the center.
