4. The previous Parish of Santiago Marker
The previous marker was relatively difficult to see in this view, just to the right of the entryway to the church. The church was preparing to celebrate St. James' feast day on July 25 and the area around the marker was darkened due to the additional coverings placed over the entryway.
