The Black Death started in Asia, though we do not know where. Before it reached Europe, it had already killed millions of people in India, Persia, Mesopotamia, And the Middle East. It entered Europe through Southern France and Constantinople, where it was brought in with ships, and the Crimea, which it may have reached via the Silk Road. It spread northward from these entry ports, into Italy and Spain, and into port cities all over Europe. Ultimately, it visited nearly every important city of Europe and almost all the countryside.

There is a link below to an article on the Black Death, with a map showing its progress.
