"he entire ground level has an arched walkway running along its length and although uniform in appearance has a central columned and capped feature plus two slightly less exuberant elements of detailing on either side. It was designed by Charles Lemaur, a Frenchman and is distinctly neo-classic in appearance. The large triangular central feature is of particular interest as it depicts the apostle, Saint James, when he was said to have appeared at the "battle of Clavijo" to demonstrate his support of the Spanish."
