Classic Journeys Via Francigena, the Road to Rome May 10, 2013

The Via Francigena was an ancient route once used by medieval pilgrims and other travellers on their way from Canterbury to Rome. Throughout the ages, merchants, armies and members of the clergy travelled back and forth between Northern Europe and Rome carrying goods, money and information. The route is now once again being recognised as an essential part of Europes history and reminders of its past are still to be found along its course. In this course, we look at the background of the pilgrimage to Rome, and the preparations required for a journey across Europe along the ancient Via Francigena.
