THE VIA FRANCIGENA
The Via Francigena is an 1800 km pilgrim trail from
Canterbury to Rome, leading down through northeastern
France, Switzerland, over the Alps via the
Great St. Bernard Pass, and through Italy to reach the
‘Eternal City’.
MODERN-DAY PILGRIMAGE
The Via Francigena has seen a revival of the pilgrimage route
since its designation as a Cultural Route by the Council of
Europe in 1994. Modern pilgrims are of all ages, beliefs and
motivations. They are connected by a desire to withdraw
from the busy pace of modern-day life and to take time
for introspection, to be immersed in nature, to engage
with different cultures and to meet new people. The 1800
km journey is certainly a physical challenge, but it can be
undertaken in stages or only partially.
