As Orfas ("The Orphans") refers to a group of baroque buildings in Santiago de Compostela, Province of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain.[1] Located on a street of the same name in the eastern part of the old town, the complex comprises a convent, a church, and a school, built in the early 17th century to house and educate orphaned girls.

Exterior of the building

The convent is currently home to a Catholic School, named 'Nosa Señora dos Remedios', although it is still commonly known as ‘As Orfas’. The church is open daily, and Masses are held there every day.
