Praza de Praterías, Medieval square in Santiago de Compostela, Spain
The Praza de Praterias features a 19th-century fountain with horse sculptures at its center, surrounded by historic buildings and stone arcades.
The square received its name from the silver craftsmen who established their workshops beneath the cathedral's cloister during the Middle Ages.
The southern facade of Santiago Cathedral displays Romanesque sculptures depicting biblical scenes, apostles, angels, and zodiac signs dating from 1103.
Visitors can explore numerous shops, restaurants, and craft stores around the square while enjoying direct access to Santiago Cathedral's southern entrance.
The Casa do Cabildo, designed by architect Fernandez Sarela in 1758, presents a three-meter-deep baroque facade that creates a theatrical backdrop.
