Abstract
This article aims to put forward an unpublished panoramic view of Saint-Jacques of Compostela, which a member of the retinue of the first Earl of Sandwich drew in 1666, after arriving in A Coruña at the very beginning of his ambassadorship travel in Spain. Although the sketch is not a very realistic one, it is absolutely interesting because of the scarcity of representations on the Apostolic city at that moment.
