SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA is, with Jerusalem and the Vatican, one of the three holy Christian cities around the world. The French path, known as Camino Francés, starts in Ronchesvalles, or Saint Jean Pied de Port, and through this French-Spanish way lots of pilgrims arrive in Santiago after walking almost 900 km. Some people start from their own homes, in Germany and Austria for instance, adding 1000 km more. The cathedral of Santiango is, with Rome and Jerusalem, one of the milestones of Christianity and, worldwide, it is reckoned to be amongst the most famous cathedrals. Santiago houses 46 churches, 114 bell towers, 288 altars and 36 orders. The history of Santiago de Compostela is told through its religious architecture. In accordance with this, there are extraordinary architectural examples such as two angels with spectacles inside a relief from the 14th century, or a pregnant virgin at the entrance of a church.
