Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago

The museum is divided into three floors and pays tribute to Saint James and the pilgrims who come to visit.

It is a monographic museum that highlights the importance of the cult of Saint James and the pilgrimage routes to his tomb since the High Middle Ages, especially in Europe. Images, objects and documents are exhibited on several floors, in which visitors can learn about the origin of the cult of Saint James, the beginning and development of pilgrimage, the gradual configuration of the various routes and of Santiago de Compostela and the influence of the pilgrimage on the artistic development of the city's craft guilds.
