Each of the four facades of the cathedral is strikingly different from the neighboring ones, and the reason for this is the multiple reconstructions undertaken in the 16th-18th centuries. The cathedral is famous not only for the relics of St. James, but also for the largest censer in the world: it weighs 80 kilograms, and is comparable in size to an adult person. To fill such a vessel, 40 kg of coal and the same amount of incense are needed.
