Presentation

Northern Routes to Santiago was created in the XIII General Assembly (Santiago de Compostela, Spain) in September 2007 by a proposal of Pultusk Academy of Humanities.

This working group is closely linked to trade routes and pilgrimages. Its main goals are: to extend the pilgrimage roads towards the Northern and Eastern Europe; to extend academic support and promotion to this ambitious task; and to secure necessary research on ‘receiving end’ at Santiago de Compostela.

It will also be closely linked to a project initiated by the University of Warmia – Mazury where cities will be encouraged to present their heritage from the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela to create interest for the routes, support exchange of information and develop thematical tourism.
