Thousand years of European Way in a photo exhibition
EUNIC in Brazil celebrates The European Way with a photo exhibition on the Way of St. James (from 9 August to 3 December at Goethe-Zentrum Brasilia). The pictures were taken by amateur and professional photographers in various places along the routes in Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Poland and Spain.
The Way of St. James (Spanish: El Camino de Santiago, Galician: O Camiño de Santiago, French: Chemin de St-Jacques, German: Jakobsweg) is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where the remains of the apostle Saint James are believed to be buried.
It is a dense network of itineraries which extends from all corners of Europe and lead to the city of Santiago de Compostela and which have been uniting the continent for more than a thousand years, thus forming a life history, a space where people from a wide variety of cultures, tastes and even religions come together. For this reason the route was declared the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe in October 1987. In 1993 it was also named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.
Free entrance.
