PILGRIM MASS DURING THE 2019 YEAR

During this year 2019, the interior of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela will go through several restoration works restricting the use of the botafumeiro and some masses. Even though the cathedral will remain open for visitors; the masses and religious events will be celebrated in another chapels or churches of the city rather than at the high altar of the cathedral. This restoration project follows the initiated program of restoration of the cathedral façade that was completed the past year 2018 which now allows us to enjoy the completely restored front of the cathedral of Santiago. The cathedral will remain open for pilgrims from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and can be accessed through the door facing Plaza de Platerías. You can still have the opportunity to embrace the Apostle in its alcove and visit the Apostolic crypt.

At present the cathedral is going under continuous works of renovation following the already completed works in the Clock Tower, the façade of Azabachería, the Royal Arcade, the arcade roofs, the towers of the façade, the façade of Plaza del Obradoiro, the terrace and the crypt, the base of the Major Chapel and the roofs of Cabecera.
