Library?), which is only used on special occasions. There is also at least one regular thurible which is used the rest of the time (daily?). The regular one seems to be more silver in colour, whereas the
Botafumeiro is the more golden looking one (although it is plated with silver). I think if you want to see the famous Botafumeiro, you have to be there on a special occasion though, but you can attend the service any day at noon to see the ceremony with the regular one. See

920:"There is another large thurible used in the other masses carried out in the cathedral, called "La Alcachofa" (literally, "The Artichoke") or "La Repollo" (literally, "The Cabbage"). La Alcachofa is a silver-colored metal censer. It was created in 1971 by the sacred art artisans working under the craftsman Luis Molina Acedo."

Another question: When is the
Botafumeiro employed? Some accounts claim it is used only on special occasions, but some foreign language sites imply that it swings daily at 12 noon. What is the truth? Does anyone know the connection of the Road Rally of the same name and the restaurant of the same name to the censer? --

The template says that section 2 Exterior of the
Cathedral is a rough translation from the Spanish, but actually (strange as it may seem) it is a rough translation from the Galician (Gallego). I have altered the template accordingly. The part about the "original" article being in Spanish, depends

After some investigation on the web, I have found accounts that the
Botafumeiro is made of "silver brass", or silver-plated brass. I have also seen some pictures where the Botafumeiro is clearly silver colored, and others were it is clearly golden colored (from reflections?). For example, a picture

I too was puzzled by the same question and the seeming contradictions. I think the solution comes from the fact that there seems to be at least two of these censors in existence at
Santiago de Compostela. There is the famous one (the Botafumeiro) which is stored at the Library (is it the Cathedral
873:
Also, I have found some accounts that the
Botafumeiro weighs 58 Kg, and others that it weighs 80 Kg. Given that a physics study of the Botafumeiro quotes 80Kg, I think that this might be more accurate. I have also seen varying quotes of the height of the Botafumeiro, from 1.6 m to 2 meters or so.

page claims it is the largest. One of these pages is clearly wrong and needs correcting. I've made a note in the
Cathedral Knowledge text to flag this, but someone with more knowledge on this can look into this and make the judgement. The largest is from Germany apparently, and size and weight is

I believe compostela is derived from the Latin campus stellae, meaning "field of stars". I was surprised that this isn't mentioned in the article. However, I don't have a reference so I will leave the suggestion here for someone more familiar with the subject.

I attempted that copy editing before reading this. There may be a couple places where I misinterpreted what was said, but in other places I removed small bits which seemed rather inconsequential.
