ES: " poco escondido, detrás de Plaza de Galicia, en el número 12 de, la calle de fondo de saco, Rúa Concepción Arenal encontramos la Residencia de Estudiantes
Santiago Apóstol. La residencia es obra de Mariano Fernández Ragel y está administrada por las madres
Concepcionistas desde los años 60.
Destacan las ménsulas con rostros de mujer que sujetan los balcones laterales del primer piso y los Mercurios en los medallones en forma de camafeos de los mismos. Toda la decoración vegetal está formada por camelias y robles haciendo alusión a Galicia."
