Itinerary description
|
Distance: 2010 km Walking time: 64 days. Accumulated difference: 31,000 meters
The route of Sigeric el Seriòs, 27th Archbishop of Canterbury, in 990, when he went to Rome from Canterbury to receive the episcopal palace at the hands of Pope John XV. He documented the 80 stages of the return, not the first leg. He is sure to have traveled through the still existing Roman roads, the Agrippa road, the Cassia road and the Triumphalis road, among others. The route from Rome to Canterbury is called Via Francogena and from Canterbury to Rome, via Romea. One way or another is Sigeric's way
A perfectly signposted route in England, Switzerland and Italy. Half a dozen signals in France (except the stage of Gy in Besancon). Although it is defined as GR 145 it is impossible to follow. This lack of signage is not a problem rather it is an advantage since it allows you to trace your own route.
VIA FRANCIGENA or VIA ROMEA IN ANGLATERRA
In 990, Sigeric, bishop of Canterbury, went back from Rome to demonstrate humility before becoming bishop of the Church. Upon arriving at Canterbury he ordered his clerk to write down the journey he had made since they left Rome. Today, this manuscript is kept in the British Library of London and mentions the 80 stages or places through which they went. This document has allowed hitoriers to delimit the old Via Francogènia
VIA FRANCIGENA or VIA ROMEA IN FRANCE
In France, the pilgrim crosses 8 departments (Pas-de-Calais, Somme, Aisne, Marne, Aube, Haute-Marne, Haute-Saône, Doubs) and 4 regions (Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Picardie, Champagne- Ardenne, Franche-Comté); In Switzerland, it passes through the cantons of Neuchatel, Vaud and Valais; In Italy, it crosses seven regions (the valley of Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Liguria, Tuscany and Lazi).
VIA FRANCIGENA or VIA ROMEA to SWITZERLAND
OMNES VIAE ROMAM PERDUCUNT "All roads lead to Rome"
Rome, together with the Holy Land and Saint James of Compostela, is one of the three major Christian pilgrimage centers from the Middle Ages.
Via Francigena was the main pilgrimage route to Rome from the north. There are currently pilgrims traveling along this route but in smaller numbers than on the Camí de Sant Jaume.
The origins of the Via Francogena are known since the Archbishop of Canterbury Sigeric el Seriós, in 990, made the first pilgrimage to Rome to receive the episcopal palace at the hands of Pope John XV and described the 80 stages of your trip.
VIA FRANCIGENA or VIA ROMEA to ITALY
Via Francigena is an ancient medieval road that led to the tomb of Saint Peter, in Rome, from Canterbury. It is a 2,010 km road that passes through England, France, Switzerland, and through the passage of the Great San Bernat enters Italy. In the Middle Ages was an important route of pilgrimage. For pilgrims heading north, Via Francigena was called, for those heading south, Via Romea.
The name of the Via Francogena is derived from the Camí dels Francs
