03Santa María a Real do Sar

Santiago de Compostela · Galicia

A jewel of Compostelan Romanesque, famous for the unsettling lean of its columns, which seem about to give way. A former collegiate church of Augustinian canons, it preserves a beautiful cloister attributed to the circle of the Mestre Mateo. An intimate, awe-inspiring space.
