Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela

乖小咪
The Apostolic Cathedral is the most famous church in Santiago de Compostela. It is located in the famous Quintana Square. It has a history of more than 400 years. Its two pointed towers are its standard appearance. The exterior walls of the church also have very delicate carvings. It is really worth visiting.

Cathedral Museum

The cathedral museum and the cathedral are integrated, the tall part is the cathedral, and the museum is arranged along both sides. The entrance to the museum is vaguely visible in the picture below. Although the cathedral museum is not the kind of boutique style that you would imagine, if you wanted to understand the works of Matteo, the master who is closely related to the cathedral and has a lip-to-tooth relationship (after all, the masterpieces are now being repaired north of the church, and you can't see anything), Then you have to visit the cathedral museum. Tickets €6, not expensive. The museum is large in size, with four floors, classified exhibitions, libraries, tapestries of master works (some of the original works of Rubens, Goya), the original stone-carved choir of Matteo (destroyed in 1604, recently patched up), the Royal Pantheon, etc. The "Gate of Glory" introduced in the form of a TV film is worth your stop and watch. This is the sculpture group that is repaired at the north gate of the cathedral, including more than 200 sculptures by Master Matteo. Although photography is prohibited in the museum, I may not be completely banned from taking screenshots of my private TV film. Column? Just a few pictures from the TV...

Tower of Hercules

The Tower of Hercules was built at the end of the first century AD. It is located at the entrance of the La Coruña Harbor in the northwest. The ancient Romans built this tower mainly as a lighthouse and landmark. The tower is built on a 57-meter-high rock. The tower is about 55 meters high and is divided into three floors. The first floor corresponds to the Roman structure of the lighthouse. Next to the base of the lighthouse is a small square Roman building. The sea here is more beautiful.

I highly recommend this museum, even moved the 747 head in, and also can visit the cargo economy class and the upper cockpit respectively, which is very rare.

The Cathedral Museum is integrated with the Cathedral. The tall part is the Cathedral, and the museum is arranged along both sides. The left and right entrances of the museum can be vaguely seen in the picture below. Although the Cathedral Museum does not have the kind of exquisite style that you imagine, if you want to understand the works of Master Matteo, who is closely related to the Cathedral and has a close relationship with it (after all, the north side of the cathedral is under repair, and you can't see any of those masterpieces), then you have to visit the Cathedral Museum. The ticket is €6, which is not expensive. The museum is very large, with four floors, and classified exhibitions, including libraries, tapestries of master works (some of which are original works of Rubens and Goya), Matteo's original stone choir (destroyed in 1604 and recently patched up), Royal Pantheon, etc. The "Portal of Glory" introduced in the museum in the form of a TV film is worth your stop and careful viewing. This is the sculpture group repaired at the north end of the Cathedral, including more than 200 sculptures by Master Matteo. Although taking photos is prohibited in the museum, I personally think that TV screenshots may not be completely banned? I just took a few pictures from the TV show...
