Visiting the roof is a different, and enjoyable, way to explore this medieval basilica. Sit on the roof, and calmly listen to his stories and look across his surroundings. The roof is 30 meters high and is made of granite, taking the form of a series of steps. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims visited the roof of the cathedral. At the stone font, overlooked by the "Cruz dos Farrapos" (The Cross of the Rags), they carried out the ritual of burning their old clothes, worn on the pilgrimage. A group of visitors is next to this place in the panorama. Good luck with the weather! Behind the scene : how this panorama was made Las cubiertas de la catedral de Santiago de Compostela
