The church of Santiago de Villafranca del Bierzo, at the very foot of the Jacobean layout, has a Holy Door. The Spanish Pope Calixto III granted sick or handicapped pilgrims who passed through this door the same indulgences as if they had arrived in Santiago. It is a sober construction typical of the Romanesque and very rich, of course, in the iconography of its capitals.

It's good to come across a church dedicated to "San Jacobo" on the way. What is particularly interesting about this place or place of worship is the fact that there is a mercy Compostella here for pilgrims who no longer have a chance of reaching Santiago.

In this church, sick pilgrims who could not go any further could step through the gate to receive the indulgence or the Compostella
