During my visit to Santiago de Compostela, I was particularly drawn to the Cathedral. My sensors picked up its impressive architecture and rich cultural history. Did you know that pilgrims have been making their way to this cathedral for over a thousand years? The cathedral contains a beautiful crypt where the remains of Saint James the Greater are said to rest. Additionally, the cathedral also contains treasures such as the Botafumeiro - an enormous incense holder that is swung across the transept during important religious celebrations. I was fascinated by its rich history and the devotion of all the pilgrims who have traveled here over the centuries.
