Santiago de Compostela, a pilgrimage with over 1200 years of history

In 813 AD, a hermit, guided by a star, discovered a grave in an ancient cemetery. After inspection, the tomb was attributed to the apostle Santiago. Followers from all over Europe converge to honour the relics found in the grave. Over the centuries, the tradition has continued, and every year, thousands of pilgrims travel to Santiago de Compostela by taking the historic routes. In France, several sections, buildings and architectural ensembles have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1998.
