Museum
Don’t miss the Cathedral Museum! You will be able to see with your own eyes small pieces of Santiago’s history and its basilica’s. From Roman coins to the tombs of Galician kings, including a section of a 500-year-old street and gold and silver objects… the museum is full of wonders!
And you will also find sacred relics, you will visit the old Berenguela bell in the cloister, Maestro Mateo’s choir, the “Botafumeiro” in the Library and you will enter the solitary crypt… and finally, enjoy a magnificent view from high up in the tapestry gallery. Unforgettable!
