Historic reconstruction of a late 19th-century student boarding house, immortalized in Alejandro Pérez Lugín's famous novel «La Casa de la Troya».

Located in an enclosed Benedictine convent, it displays a collection of sacred art including the original altar that housed the tomb of St. James before the construction of the present Romanesque cathedral.

Designed by Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, this space features temporary exhibitions of contemporary Galician and international art.

Museum created in 1977 within the former Convent of Santo Domingo de Bonaval, on a hill outside the old city walls and next to the pilgrimage trail. Exhibits cover coastal life, traditional trades, the country, costumes and architecture, also Galician archaeology, painting and sculpture. Many notable Galician figures are buried in the convent cemetery. Famous for its triple helical staircase designed by Domingo de Andrade.

Housed in the former Bank of Spain building on Praterías Square, it offers an interactive exhibition exploring the global phenomenon of pilgrimage, the iconography of Saint James the Apostle, and the urban history of Santiago.

Adjacent to the 12th-century Romanesque church famous for its visibly leaning walls. Displays archaeological remains, liturgical items, and the original 12th-century founding parchment.
