The Pilgrims’ Road to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The Way of St. James
Description
Proclaimed the first European Cultural Capital by the Council of Europe, this is the route, from the French-Spanish border, which was—and still is—taken by pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. Some 1,800 buildings along the route, both religious and secular, are of great historic interest. The route played a fundamental role in facilitating cultural exchanges between the Iberian peninsula and the rest of Europe during the Middle Ages. It remains a testimony to the power of Christian faith in people of all social classes and all over Europe.
