the city of culture
Situated in Santiago de Compostela and conceived as a large-scale cultural hub, devoted to the knowledge and creativity of today, the City of Culture of Galicia has been designed ever since its inception as an instrument to combine past and present, enabling an integrated approach to a strategic element for the development of Galicia: that of culture.
After ten years of intensive, rich discussions and a careful building process, the City of Culture of Galicia is on the go. After the official inauguration of the Library and the Archive of Galicia by the Prince and Princess of Asturias on the symbolic date of January 11th, 2011 (1/11/11), a new phase starts and the project comes to life.
