Soulaires is home to the 12th-century Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe church, with further construction until the 16th century. And as the name suggests, it is an old station on the way to Santiago de Compostela.

This church is dedicated to James the Elder (Saint-Jacques), probably (alongside Peter and Paul) the most prominent apostle and national saint of Spain. The European network of Ways of Saint James, usually marked by the symbol of the yellow shell on a blue background, leads pilgrims to his tomb. This is in the northern Spanish town of 'Santiago de Compostella', where he rests in a magnificent basilica built in his honor.
The martyrdom (execution) of James is handed down by the evangelist Luke in the New Testament "Acts of the Apostles". The feast day of Saint James in the calendar of saints is July 25th.
