Hiking

The church of Santiago de Villafranca del Bierzo, at the very foot of the Jacobean layout, has a Holy Door. The Spanish Pope Calixto III granted sick or handicapped pilgrims who passed through this door the same indulgences as if they had arrived in Santiago. It is a sober construction typical of the Romanesque and very rich, of course, in the iconography of its capitals.

Hiking

In this church, sick pilgrims who could not go any further could step through the gate to receive the indulgence or the Compostella
