Santiago de Compostela and the Shaping of Cultural Imaginary of Spain
Santiago de Compostela, the sanctuary city of Saint James in Spain, is the cradle of Christian Iberian spirituality and culture. As a place of destination for pilgrims from different cultures and countries, it is a symbol of cultural diversity in the unity of Church of Christ. It also synthesizes the cultural unifying ideal of “Hispanidad”, which is associated with the image of Saint James the Conquerer. An image which inspired further the Spanish ideological project of a Christian Empire in America.
