Curious Romanesque church in Santiago de Compostela with amazing buttresses on the outside
From the outside, this curious Romanesque church of the 12th century presents astonishing buttresses, added in the 18th century. Their usefulness is obvious when you enter the church, where you can observe the striking overturning of the walls, under the action of the thrust of the vault. The pillars that separate the three naves are decorated with floral motifs. Do not miss the capitals of the cloister, the work of the master Mateo's workshop, brilliantly executed.
