The University of Santiago de Compostela is the world's oldest public university that continues operating. It's a must-see place in the city where you can admire the architecture and stop by the library with elegant interior design: crystal chandelier, carved bookshelves, and old-fashioned lamps on the tables. The university is situated in Praza do Obradoiro.

When strolling around the Plaza del Obradoiro, you can find a real architectural gem —The Raxoi Palace in front of the cathedral. The facade of the building is an example of a fine Neoclassic style. In addition, the granite colonnade with fourteen half-moon arches serves as a supportive and decorative element. Nowadays, the building houses the Galician government and City Hall, although, previously it hosted a seminary for confessors.
