Iglesia de San Nicolás

 

 

"The Church of St. Nicholas in Bari is named in the Law of Madrid of 1202 as one of the oldest parishes in the city. Today it is the oldest church in Madrid, after the demolition of the Church of Santa Maria de la Almudena. Archaeological remains suggest that the church and its bell-tower may have been part of a former mosque. It was likely constructed during the 12th century. The nave and chapels were renovated in the 17th century." -- Wikipedia

Ézaro Waterfall

 

 

 

"On the Galician Atlantic coast, specifically in the municipality of Dumbría (A Coruña), lies one of the most impressive natural sites in Galicia: the Ézaro Waterfall. This place, located in the heart of the Costa da Morte, offers a unique spectacle in Europe, as it is the only waterfall on the continent whose river flows directly into the sea"

 

 

"The star of this natural phenomenon is the Xallas River, which originates in the inland areas of the province and travels about 60 kilometers before plunging from a height of around 40 meters into the Atlantic Ocean.

The waterfall offers a breathtaking view, where the force of the river blends with the calm of the sea, creating a place that captivates anyone seeing it for the first time. The sound of the water as it falls, the glimmer of the rocks, and the mist rising from the impact form an image that is impossible to forget. For this reason, the Ézaro Waterfall has become one of the most photographed and visited spots in Galicia." -- Galicia Travels

The pointed arch of Don Diego de Muros. It speaks of three generations of this family with an important relationship with the church. The most important was Don Diego de Muros III, Dean in Compostela in the year 1494, when the Catholic monarchs ordered the construction of the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos. Diego was personally in charge.

Colexio de San Xerome

 

 

Colexio de San Xerome (in Spanish Colegio de San Jerónimo) is a civil building in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. Founded in 1501, it's located on the southern side of Praza do Obradoiro.

 

 

 

It was founded by then Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela Alonso III de Fonseca as a colexio menor (an institution in Spain during the Middle Ages and Renaissance serving as a preparatory step for those who intended to continue their studies at a university), and was originally located near the monastery of San Martiño Pinario. Towards the middle of the 17th century, the Benedictine friars of San Martiño bought the property to expand the monastery, and the school was moved to a new building in Praza do Obradoiro. The Romanesque entrance of the old school was installed at its main façade." -- Wikipedia
