The Archdiocese of Santiago de Compostela (Latin: Archidioecesis Compostellana) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Spain. It is the senior of the five districts in which the church divides Galicia in North-western Spain.[1][2]
The Metropolitan Archbishop of Santiago of Compostela has his "cathedra" – i.e. (archi)episcopal see : from Greek/Latin "seat" – in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, dedicated to the Apostle St. James, after whom Santiago is named.
