Tour of
Saint Jacques de Compostelle Route


Join us on Sunday, June 5, for a guided visit of the Saint Jacques de Compostelle route in the center of Brussels. Not to worry – we’re not taking you all the way to Spain!

This tour will take us on the footsteps of the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela across the center of Brussels.  About 50 bronze shells will show us the itinerary. Starting in the 10th century, pilgrims from all over Europe went to Santiago de Compostela in Spain to see the alleged tomb of the apostle Saint James. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages after Jerusalem and Rome. The pilgrims, coming from the north, stopped in Brussels and entered the city through the Louvain gate. We are going to discover together this route and the meaning of the shells’ locations in the city center.

Please note that this event is limited to a maximum of 20 participants and is a members-priority event. Non-members may sign up as of May 17. 

After the visit, those who wish to may join us for a drink or a coffee in the neighborhood.
