  1. A CoruñaA Coruña
  2. Santiago de CompostelaSantiago de Compostela
  3. VigoVigo
Show answer and explanation

✓ Santiago de Compostela

The capital of Galicia is Santiago de Compostela, where the Xunta (Galician government) and the Parliament are. It is not the biggest city: that is Vigo, and A Coruña is another big city. Ourense and Lugo are provincial capitals, but not capitals of the region. Careful: the biggest city in a region is not always its capital. Remember: Galicia equals Santiago de Compostela.
