The Church of Santiago de Villafranca del Bierzo, at the very foot of the Jacobean route, has a Holy Door. The Spanish Pope Calixtus III granted sick or disabled 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 style and, of course, rich in the iconography of its capitals.
