Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela

Its Romanesque Portico de la Gloria, carved in the 12th century, features 200 individual figures under the converging arches of the 20-meter-wide narthex. Compared to #5 Mezquita's soaring interior, this cathedral achieves a 30% lower nave height, yet its 60-meter tower outperforms Córdoba's minaret by providing panoramic views for 3 million pilgrims annually.
