Discover Pistoia
Pistoia, one of the most charming cities in Tuscany, is a fundamental milestone on the Cammino di San Jacopo and the Via Francígena. Its importance as a jacobean site is capital, since its Cathedral of St. Zeno houses a relic of Saint James, making it an important center of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, a "little Compostela" at the heart of Italy. The Silver Altar of Santiago, a masterpiece of jewelry-making, is a must-see for pilgrims. The Piazza del Duomo, where the cathedral, baptistery, and bell tower are located, is one of Italy's most beautiful medieval squares. Pistoia, often off the beaten tourist trails, offers the traveler an authentic experience, with an old town filled with Romanesque churches and a peaceful atmosphere. With excellent services, it is a stop that directly connects pilgrims to devotion to Saint James in Italian lands, a place to immerse oneself in art, history, and the essence of pilgrimage.
