Hello Lucia !!! Indeed this equestrian statue is located on the top of the Palace of Rajoy, headquarters of the junta Galician, in the Plaza do Obradoiro, just opposite the shrine of Santiago de Compostela. The palace is neoclassical and the pediment has many reliefs depicting a battle in which it is said that Santiago helped the Christian army to win against the Moors by the Emir of Cordoba. The other picture shows the top center of the sanctuary where you represent Santiago.
Thanks for the ride Ciao Lucia!!! Effettivamente questa statua equestre si trova sulla sommità del Palazzo di Rajoy, sede della giunta Galiziana, in Plaza do Obradoiro, proprio di fronte il santuario di Santiago de Compostela. Il palazzo è in stile neoclassico ed il frontone ha molti rilievi che ritraggono una battaglia in cui si narra che Santiago aiutò l'esercito cristiano a vincere contro i mori dall'emiro di Cordoba. L'altra foto ritrae la parte centrale superiore del santuario in cui è rappresento Santiago.

Hello Malphy is in fact this' more 'a leader who a saint, a little mixed' flag (Christian), and then I read a story mixed. ) At first I thought even in San Rocco 'cause brings a brimmed hat like a pilgrim and was so well' married 'with the Camino de Santiago, or St. James, given also the symbol of the shells them' and 'home. Then the other door also stick typical pilgrim's cloak and that characterize the saint to which I referred. 'Cause in the end these gentlemen were noble characters and leaders. Thanks. Ciao Malphy si in effetti questo e' piu' un condottiero che un santo, confonde un po' la bandiera (cristiana), e poi si ho letto, una storia mista. ) All'inizio ho pensato addirittura a San Rocco perche' porta un cappello a falde simile ed era un pellegrino quindi ben si 'sposava' col Cammino di Santiago oppure San Giacomo, viste anche il simbolo delle conchiglie che li' e' di casa. Poi nell'altra porta anche il bastone tipico del pellegrino e il mantello che connotano il santo di cui ho detto. Perche' poi alla fine questi signori erano personaggi nobili e condottieri. Grazie.
