About
The Iglesia de Santiago, also known as the Church of Santiago, stands on the Praza de la Constitución in the old town of A Coruña, Spain. It is a Romanesque church dating from the 12th century and counts among the oldest religious buildings in the city.
What to expect
The church is worth a visit for its medieval architecture, which reflects the style of its period and gives a sense of how the city's older quarters were built. Its position on a central square makes it easy to see as part of a walk through the historic centre.
Why it matters
The church is linked to the Camino de Santiago, the network of pilgrimage routes that has drawn travellers to Galicia for centuries. For many visitors, seeing it is a way to connect A Coruña with that longer history.
