- 5.24.8/58 Review"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..."Santiago de Compostela.Old Town54.7 km from downtownMuseumsHighlights: Next to the Cathedral of the Apostles, the Museum of the Cathedral of Compostela is a converted church. The building has everything, including a treasury, basement, choir, and more, which reflect the development of local architecture and the time-honored religious art. On the north side of the church is the Bishop's Palace of Cermirez, which is worth a visit.Show Less
- 4.44.9/510 Review"The Apostle Cathedral is the most famous church in Santiago de Compostela. It is located in the famous Quintana Square. It has been a church for more than 400 years. The two high-pitched towers are his standard. The exterior walls of the church have very delicate sculptures. Really worth coming."Santiago de Compostela.Old Town54.6 km from downtownChurches and CathedralsHighlights: The Cathedral of the Apostles, also known as the Cathedral of Santiago, is a cathedral that combines Roman and Baroque structures. Every year, many tourists come here along the Pilgrim's Path to pay their respects to the cathedral. The exterior of the church is in Baroque style, and the interior has the best Romanesque sculpture in the world, called the Gate of Glory. This door, built by master mateo in 1188, is the original entrance to the cathedral. Its three arches are engraved with characters from stories such as Apocalypse, The Last Judgment, and Purgatory. And under Jesus there is a pillar carved with the image of St. James. Appears peaceful and serene. Masses are held at noon every day in the church. Occasionally, a ceremony is held here after Mass, and a large censer is hung from the ceiling by ropes. The censer was shaken in the apse by ropes pulled by eight strong believers.Show Less
