The transfer of the see of Iria to Compostela

Historical milestone · Padrón, Sar, A Coruña

Image of Padrón, not of the place itself.

Pope Urban II, at the request of bishop Dalmacio, moved in 1095 the episcopal see from Iria Flavia to Compostela and exempted it from all metropolitan jurisdiction; the old Irian city was reduced to a collegiate church and to the houses of the port's fishermen.
