Via Francigena

At the turn of the first millennium, many pilgrims crossed Europe to go to prayer at the tomb of the Apostle Peter in Rome or to continue to the Holy Land, Jerusalem. The practice of the pilgrimage took on such importance that they developed true “ways of faith” dotted with stopping places, villages and abbeys to host pilgrims. Among the most important streets the Via Francigena still today represents the main route.
