Ce qu'en disent les utilisateurs

"Iniziata nel 1075, sempre stata chiesa di pellegrinaggio. I capitelli dell’antico deambulatorio sono simili a quelli della Porte des Comtes di Sernin (Tolosa) mentre quella di Miegeville (con timpano) puó essere accostata al portale degli Orafi (sud) l’unico che conserva la maggior parte delle sculture del XII (altre parti sono del 1200)."

"UNESCO World Heritage The name of Santiago de Compostela is known and revered throughout the Christian world. Its links with the relics of St. James (Santiago in Spanish) have made it the most important destination for pilgrims, after Jerusalem and Rome. Santiago's cathedral is certainly worthy of a visit in its own right. It has the unusual distinction of being a Romanesque building, concealed within the shell of a Baroque exterior. The original church was founded in the ninth century, but this building was destroyed by the Moors in 997. The present structure dates from the late eleventh century, when the increased number of pilgrims provided ample funds for a new church. Much of the Romanesque building is well preserved in the interior, but the exterior was largely remodeled during the eighteenth century by a local architect, Fernando Casas y Novoa. The architecture, however, must take second place to the medieval legend that provided the raison d'être for the Catedral del Apostol. According to this legend, the apostle St. James the Greater preached throughout Spain before being martyred in Rome. His remains were carried back to Spain and buried in Compostela. His grave was forgotten until 813, when it was rediscovered by a hermit who was led to it by a star. After this event, large numbers of pilgrims began to travel to Compostela to pay homage at his shrine. When they arrived at the cathedral, then as now, their first action was to kiss or touch the saint's statue on the Porch of Glory (Master Mateo's original doorway to the church). They would then touch a similar figure behind the altar and collect their compostellana (a confirmation of their pilgrimage). Pilgrims continue to flock to Santiago to this day. The numbers of visitors are particularly high in "Holy Years," those years when the feast day of St. James-July 25-falls on a Sunday."
