The cathedral dates almost entirely from a period running from the 11C to the start of the 13C, although the so-called Façade do Obradoiro is a finely sculpted Baroque masterpiece. In the narthex is the Pórtico da Gloria, with its exceptionally beautiful statues. Inside, the huge Romanesque cathedral is still intact and displays the characteristics of pilgrimage churches: Latin cross floor plan, vast proportions, ambulatory where the pilgrims could move around, triforium. The main nave and huge transept, itself with aisles, are admirable in their simplicity combined with incomparable majesty.
