Se presentan nuevos argumentos sobre la hipótesis de una primera fachada occidental románica dedicada a la Transfiguración en la catedral de Santiago de Compostela, ya construida a principios del siglo XII. Se confirma así la descripción dada por la Guía de Peregrinos del Códice Calixtino, hacia 1135. Con su sustitución por el Pórtico de la Gloria a partir de 1168, Fernando II de León imprimió un sello real al templo, en un intento de afirmar su hegemonía en el conjunto de los reinos hispánicos.
The article presents new arguments for the assumption that a first Romanesque western façade, dedicated to the Transfiguration, of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, had been built in the beginning of the twelfth century, which has been described by the Pilgrim 's Guide of the Codex Calixtinus, written around 1135. This portal was replaced by the Pórtico de la Gloria from 1168 onwards. With this lavish construction, Fernando II of León left a royal imprint on the cathedral in view of the pretended his hegemony within the Spanish realms.
