Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain (No. 2)
The building that is now contemplated as the co-cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada is, really, an amalgam of different styles ranging from the Romanesque of its head to the baroque of its genuine free-standing bell tower, passing through its body of naves, which can be classified as fully Gothic. To all this we must add the different reforms and extensions that it suffered during the Modern Age as a result of restorations, collapses or, simply, by the changes that each bishop was making to adapt the see to the tastes and fashions of each historical moment.
Several modifications were made to the original plant, adding:
in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries: the naves, defenses and portico of the west façade;
in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries: the chapels of the apse, of the Immaculate and the two in sections 2 and 3 of the south façade;
in the seventeenth century the baptistery of the section of the feet;
in the eighteenth century, the south portal;
the tower, original of the twelfth century, was rebuilt in the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries; the latter in the current location.

Tour St. Jacques, Paris, 2017.
Le début d'un Chemin Saint-Jacques !
Pilgrims gathered at the Tour St. Jacques, once a major church stood at its foot, and began the journey from Paris to Santiago. The chemin out of Paris, one of several routes in France, is still marked with yellow arrows. It eventually joins some of those other routes at Ostabat just before crossing the Pyrenees. At Roncesvalles (Ronceveaux) just over the crest on the Spanish side of those mountains begins the Camino francés, the French route.

Je marche actuellement le Camino de Invierno et c'est tellement unique par rapport aux autres itinéraires de caminos que j'ai parcourus. Très beaux paysages et anciennes mines d'or romaines classées au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Je recommande vivement 2 nuits autour de Las Medulas pour explorer les grottes des mines d'or.
« J'ai parcouru la Frances, arrêté à Ponferrada un jour supplémentaire pour aller voir ces anciennes mines d'or. L'un des meilleurs jours sur / hors du Camino. Ça vaut bien la journée supplémentaire et la randonnée là-bas. À ne pas manquer. »
