Plaza del Obradoiro is a historic square located in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. It serves as the main plaza of the city and is renowned for its architectural and cultural significance. The square is named after the workshop (obradoiro) where stonemasons worked on the construction of the nearby Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. The plaza is surrounded by notable buildings, including the Cathedral itself, the Pazo de Raxoi (City Hall and the seat of the regional government), the Hostal dos Reis Católicos (a former hospital turned luxury hotel), and the Colegio de San Xerome (part of the University of Santiago de Compostela). The Plaza del Obradoiro is a focal point for pilgrims completing the Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route.
