Area information

The hotel is located at the beginning of Rua del Villar, a street that connects to the unique romantic door that has been preserved at the Cathedral. Rua del Villar has been mentioned in medieval books as “Valle Milvorum o Vilare Milvorum. Back to its origin, it was the name given to a small village situated near to the place where people met, and later on it became one of the important start points for populating the famous monument area of Compostelana. Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrimage city.
The growth of Santiago de Compostela as a major city, is directly linked to the discovery of an Apostole tumb back in the Ninth Century (between 820 – 830) under the reign of Alfonso II.
There is strong evidence of the existence of three major villages or hamlets during the Ninth Century: Campo (presently Plaza de Cervantes), the old group of Lovio and Vilar, in which street you will find the Rua Villar Hotel. It is a fact that to the end of the Ninth Century, the first Ourives shops were setting up in Rua Vilar, very popular among the high class pilgrims and rich businessmen, which were increasingly visiting Santiago.
As time past, the Rua del Villar had consolidated as an accommodation for high class people (city people) and house the Town Council.
