Which apostle is buried in Santiago de Compostela?
The relics of the Apostle James the Greater are kept in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, according to Christian tradition. In fact, he is not buried, but rather his remains are kept inside a silver urn beneath the main altar, in what is known as the apostolic tomb or sepulchre.
James was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, and his tomb was discovered in the 9th century, which turned the city into one of the main Christian pilgrimage destinations.
