With his patronage over the European network of roads, James has become a European who brings people together. In Amiens, there is a barrier separating the transept in the cathedral, which shows the legend of James as a fully sculptural, polychrome-painted stonemasonry work from the 16th century. The depiction is particularly impressive, where you only see the devil lurking in the darkness in the gable at second glance.
