ITALY - VIA FRANCENGINA - The Path to Rome

From the 4th century AD a great number of people wishing to visit the holy places started moving round Europe.  As the number of pilgrims increased, Europe became covered by a wide network of roads which headed towards three destinations: Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela and Rome. To cater for the pilgrims a great many abbeys, monasteries, hospitals and shelters were built.

At the end of the 10th century the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sigeric, travelled to Rome and on his return journey he kept a record of the route and his stops.  The 80 stages covering some 1700 km has become the basis for re-identifying the route today.
