グラニョンのおすすめランニングルート

On the approximately 800-kilometer route through northern Spain – perhaps even earlier in France – the pilgrim has repeatedly crossed borders that may have held significant significance in the past, and some still do today from a regional political perspective. However, for us, who are striving toward the tomb of the Apostle James, the "Credencial" was the only important identification document, and pilgrimage routes – like the heavens – have always been borderless.

The pilgrimage route repeatedly involves crossing valleys and rivers like the Rio Oja – as here at Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The bridges are sometimes relatively modern, sometimes medieval, and sometimes even older.

It crosses the Oja River, connecting different parts of the city. Built in the 12th century by Saint Dominic de la Calzada to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The stone bridge features several arches, a fine example of medieval engineering.

The Torreón de Sor María de Leiva is one of the historical attractions of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. It is part of the walled enclosure of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, the tower is an example of the defensive architecture of the period. The tower and its surroundings offer excellent opportunities for photography, especially at sunset.

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador, is an impressive monument located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The cathedral was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles. A unique feature is its free-standing tower, separated from the main body of the cathedral.

So many churches and each one is somehow different. Unbelievable.

Again and again on the pilgrimage route - as here at Santo Domingo de la Calzada - valleys have to be crossed and rivers like the Rio Oja have to be crossed. The bridges are sometimes relatively modern, sometimes medieval and sometimes even older.

The primitive Romanesque church was built dedicated to the Savior and Saint Mary. In 1098, King Alfonso VI donated land for its construction. The cathedral was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Don Pedro Nazar. It later became a collegiate church around 1158 and finally a cathedral after 1232. Since then, it has been the seat of the bishop of Calahorra-La Calzada. Construction of the current church began in 1158, preserving much of the old structure. In the 16th century, the right part of the transept was raised to house the tomb of Saint Dominic.
