Abstract
The following work presents the “Sistema de Información Patrimonial” (SIP) of Santiago de Compostela. The SIP is defined as a geodocumental platform, on open access since 2010, created and supported by the Consorcio de Santiago de Compostela in order to give publicity to its urban history in a broad sense, using both textual and graphical materials (maps and photographs), related to the cultural heritage. In addition to this, the work is completed with the presentation of the archaeological contents, incorporated into the GIS, a key part of this tool.
