Santiago de Compostela - Hospital Real

At the north end of the Plaza del Obradoiro is the Hospital Real, founded in 1489 by the Catholic Monarchs, which is now a luxurious parador, the Hotel de los Reyes Católicos. In the center of the main front facing the square is a magnificent Plateresque doorway. The Hospital is laid out around four courtyards dating from the 16th-18th centuries. In the center of the building is the Gothic chapel, with beautifully carved piers at the crossing and a grille of 1556.
