Facts and practical information

The church of Santiago del Arrabal is a Catholic temple located on the banks of the Tormes River in the city of Salamanca. Its construction dates back to the 12th century, being one of the oldest in Salamanca. It is located in the vicinity of the Roman bridge of Salamanca and the stone railing. It is one of the churches near the Ruta de la Plata before the entrance to the city on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The interior is completely baroque due to the transformations and rehabilitations that were made in the 18th century. The church was important in the celebrations of the feast of St. James in which the representatives of the town council came on horseback preceded by a herald with a flag.
