to religious sites

---

There were pilgrim destinations all over Europe, in addition to destinations in the Middle East. Jerusalem was important when it could be reached. Rome was always important. Canterbury was the most important in England, after the death of Thomas Becket. Santiago de Compostela was an important site in Spain. But there were pilgrim destinations in every country, and the number of them was large. Most people in Europe could go on pilgrimages that only lasted a couple weeks.

There is a link below to an article on Christian pilgrimage. Most European sites mentioned were sites in the Middle Ages.
