Convent of Santo Domingo, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The time when the Dominicans arrived in the city is uncertain, with opinions fluctuating between 1244 and 1273. The primitive convent was outside the walls, not far from the so-called Puerta del Aire. The English Protestant pirates occupied the city for a very short time in 1589, and on the march they burned the convent. In 1596 the construction of the new convent began in the place where it is now, and the community was formed in a stable way in 1617. At the end of the XVIII century the convent was too deteriorated to live in it and the rebuilding began. In 1835 Exclaustration and convent buildings were seized by the government, but not the church. After hard and long managements the convent was restored between 1899 and 1905, occupying the part of the old cloister that was adhered to the church. The Fathers had great difficulty in getting hold of almost everything that had belonged to the convent. In 1955 it was built what is a high school, governed by the community. The convent has always maintained a notable influence by its preaching and promotion of the cult, especially to the Virgen del Rosario, Patroness of the city.
Church of Santiago, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The church of Santiago is the main temple Coruña and the oldest. Construction began in the twelfth century, during the reign of Ferdinand II. In its lobby met the council until the fifteenth century. The first news of the church of Santiago are 1218 and during the Middle Ages met in your lobby the council, until the fifteenth century came to occupy the convent of Santo Domingo. The church had two towers, one with bells and another in which they kept the scriptures and gunpowder, among other objects. Both towers threatened ruin, which recommended its demolition in 1531. The new tower, built in 1607, forced to reform the apse of the Epistle. On 1 April 1779 suffered a fire which led to having to make deep repairs. In the nineteenth century the architect Juan de Ciórraga created the rose window of the facade and the stairs of access. The original plant was three ships, which were reduced to one, the Gothic style in the fifteenth century. The main facade is Romanian and protrudes from the wall a block. In central arquivolta appear twenty elders of the Apocalypse with their musical instruments listening to El Salvador. The eardrum is held by angels and it appears James the horse. This figure, and some other, come from another part. By the east three Romanesque apses, divided by columns overseas capitals with vegetables; to the left is split by a cornerstone of the tower. The church has three doors, of which the north is the oldest. The eardrum is supported by two recesses with heads of cattle and is one year between two circuses holding a cross with his paws. The south door is also opened to Romania and sacristy. The tower was built in 1607. The apse forms a curious corner is the shortest street of Corunna, the Golden Grid. We emphasize the corbels that support the eaves of the roof and the rosette in headwall of the ship.

Santiago de Compstela, Spain
Santiago de Compostela is the capital of northwest Spain’s Galicia region. It’s known as the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, and the alleged burial site of the Biblical apostle St. James. His remains reputedly lie within the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, consecrated in 1211, whose elaborately carved stone facades open onto grand plazas within the medieval walls of the old town. Be sure to attend the daily service for the pilgrims and see the swinging incense!
Convent of Santa Barbara, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The convent of Santa Barbara is a cloistered convent located in the eponymous square in the Old City of Coruna. The convent was built over a century chapel XV next to the wall. Appears mentioned for the first time in a document of 1444 and its foundation was approved in 1491 by Pope Alexander VI. From the sixteenth century the convent consolidated and received a lot of donations. Also welcomed the nuns who arrived in 1682 to found the order of Wonders, and who settled in what was then the convent of the Capuchin. The building was modified and expanded multiple times. The medieval building is not conserved more than relief that presides over the door and it was placed there in 1613 and that could belong to a canopy or a grave Gothic fourteenth century. It represents one of the pilgrimage routes as penance for salvation. Show the Last Judgment and is chaired by the Trinity; Eternal Father holds the crucified Christ, accompanied by the moon and the sun. On the left, the archangel St. Michael weighs the souls of monks and pilgrims who are coming from the right, between trees. On the right appear San Miguel and a dragon. Inside, another relief (perhaps belonging to the primitive chapel) shows Santa Catarina and Santa Barbara. Also conserves a pointed arch. The building has a courtyard access to the church and a lookout tower. The canvas wall that closes the place to which they give the rooms of the nuns was designed by Fernando de Casas Novoa in the first half of the eighteenth century. The slowness of its construction in 1786 explains the date that appears on the front.

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA HOSPEDERIA SAN MARTIN PINARIO
Catedral de Santiago Galicia (España)
La Catedral de Santiago de Compostela es un templo de culto católico situado en la ciudad homónima, en el centro de la provincia de La Coruña, en Galicia (España). Acoge el que, según la tradición, es el sepulcro del Apóstol Santiago, lo cual convirtió al templo en uno de los principales destinos de peregrinación de Europa durante la Edad Media a través del llamado Camino de Santiago, una ruta de peregrinaje en la que se seguía la estela de la Vía Láctea comunicando la península Ibérica con el resto del continente. Esto fue determinante para que los reinos hispánicos medievales participaran en los movimientos culturales de la época; en la actualidad sigue siendo un importante destino de peregrinación. Un privilegio concedido en 1122 por el papa Calixto II declaró que serían «Año Santo» o «Año Jubilar» en Compostela todos los años en que el día 25 de julio, día de Santiago, coincidieran en domingo; este privilegio fue confirmado por el papa Alejandro III.
Fue declarada Bien de Interés Cultural en 1896,2 y la ciudad vieja de Santiago de Compostela, que se concentra en torno a la catedral, fue declarada bien cultural Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1985
Este año en fuimos nosotros era año santo,y tengo que deciros que estar allí este dia fue una gran experiencia,aqui os dejo un pequeño video.
Un saludo.
