Description

La praza da Quintana es una plaza simbólica del centro de la ciudad de Santiago de Compostela, formada por la confluencia de la fachada sur de la catedral de Santiago, la Casa da Parra, el convento de San Paio de Antealtares y la Casa da Conga.

Está dividida por unas escalinatas, que separan la llamada Quintana de Vivos, en el nivel superior, de la Quintana de Mortos. Se construyó en el siglo XVI tras la decisión del consistorio de convertir el cementerio medieval de la Quintana de Mortos en plaza pública, hacia 1611, por el maestro Francisco Fernández de Araújo y por encargo con el canónigo de la catedral José Vega y Verdugo. En las mismas obras se aprovechó para cerrar la fachada oriental de la catedral con un muro, a modo de pantalla, que cubría la cabecera y las capillas absidiales.
