Summary

A newly discovered epigraphic and documentary record reveals the foundation of the Neira de Luaces chapel in Santiago de Compostela's Santa María do Camiño church during the mid-16th century, sponsored by regidor Juan Outeiro. This chapel, strategically located near the Camino Francés entrance, offers a unique lens into Jacobean tradition and urban evolution over four centuries. The study synthesizes historical evidence with artistic analysis, contextualizing the family funerary space within Santiago's broader historical narrative. Key insights include the chapel's evolving significance across the 16th to 19th centuries, shedding light on its architectural and cultural dimensions.
