In the center of the square stands the Fountain of the Horses, a baroque fountain that adds a touch of elegance to the surroundings. Around it, there are historic buildings with facades of great architectural beauty. Highlights include the façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, which rises majestically in the background, and the Church of Santa María Salomé. Plaza de Platerías is a lively place, frequented by tourists and locals alike. In addition to being a meeting point, the square is a witness to cultural events and celebrations that take place throughout the year, contributing to its importance as an emblematic space in the context of the Camino de Santiago.
- A street of noble houses, as demonstrated by the Renaissance, baroque and neoclassical houses that we can find as we move along it. These noble residences, which respond to the prototype Galician urban pazo, are characterized by their large family shields and the quality of their stonework and ornamental forge. (pass by)

The Church of Santa Maria de Salome, located in the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, is a temple of Romanesque origin built in the twelfth century, although with later reforms in Baroque style.

In this emblematic square located next to the supply market, we will find the Church of San Fiz de Solovio, a temple of medieval origin considered one of the oldest in the city.
