This presentation delves into the Romanesque churches that grace the Camino de Santiago, the famed medieval pilgrimage route leading to Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. Built in the 11th and 12th centuries, and housing the sacred relics of beloved Christian saints, these churches—including Conques, Vézelay, and Saint-Sernin in Toulouse—offered rest, inspiration, and awe to pilgrims. With richly sculpted façades and grand interiors, they embody the spiritual and artistic spirit of the age. Today, the Camino continues to draw thousands who walk or cycle its paths in search of meaning, echoing the devotion of centuries past.
