In a broader sense, the Via Francigena, also known as the Frankenstraße or Frankenweg, refers to the old long-distance roads that pilgrims used on their way from the Frankish Empire or from England via the territory of the Frankish Empire to Rome to the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul. The name Via Romea is often used for this – in relation to the destination.

Today's reconstruction of the Via Francigena is essentially based on information provided by Archbishop Sigerich of Canterbury, who made a pilgrimage to Rome in 990.
