This was a museum that surprised me. After doing the Camino de Santiago I wanted to check this museum out. Glad I did. It's a museum about pilgrimage not just the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage but pilgrimages throughout the world. They talked about many of the different pilgrimages that are in the world. I felt very connected to all those other fellow pilgrims who have walked a similar path. They have old artifacts from The 14th Century from the 15th century. They have writings and manuscripts of pilgrims on their journey. They talked about how the Camino de Santiago evolved into what it is known for today. You learn about St James and his pilgrimage and his time that he spent in Galicia. For being a saint and an apostle Saint James was quite the swordsman on a horse. Having killed many infidels who were not Christian. You learned about the story of how they found the remains of St James and then the building of the church around the remains. To this day they still say that the remains of St James's under the altar in the Cathedral. You can take a tour of the cathedral to see his remains. They had interesting clothing and gear that pilgrims used in the centuries before us to walk there Pilgrimage. In the day of age of Gore-Tex lightweight fabrics weatherproof and waterproof materials it's crazy what they wore to walk their Journey their pilgrimage to Santiago. I'm sure some of you reading this that has done the Camino remembers blisters on your feet when you see some of the shoes that they wore on their Camino you'll be amazed and grateful for the shoes/boots you have. It's a very interesting museum and is free to visit if you're a pilgrim. You should check it out. It's worth your...

:) :) :) :) :) Free entry at time of this review - Sep 2022. Staff really helpful with information - especially Mary Magdalene at the front desk. Museums Display writing and video displays available in Galician, Spainish and English with audio options in various languages available to download via smartphone. Lockers require €1 coin for key deposit and there are very large and small lockers for hiking backpacks as no bags allowed inside.

De pequeñas dimensiones, el museo está situado en el casco viejo de la ciudad. Se hallan obras pictóricas, escultóricas, estampas litográficas y maquetas relacionadas con el apóstol Santiago y el Camino Jacobeo. Es interesante la selección de obras presentadas. No obstante, nada hay expuesto, ni siquiera un panel informativo, que mencione: que no está constatada la existencia del apóstol Santiago ni del Jesús de Nazaret del Nuevo Testamento; que no es evidente la existencia de cristianos hasta la segunda mitad del siglo II, antes, como mucho, sería una secta o variedad del judaísmo; que la primera vez que un texto señala que el apóstol Santiago se trasladó a la península Ibérica fue en el siglo VII; que las crónicas del rey Alfonso III el Magno, hacia el 900, no hablan de ningún hallazgo en el noroeste del reino; que la localización del enterramiento fue una invención colocada en el 812 para que el primer peregrino fuese el emperador Carlomagno, muerto en 813, ya que ninguna crónica contemporánea expresa ningún viaje imperial hacia el Finisterre galaico; que la batalla de Clavijo hace ya numerosos decenios que se sabe que es otra invención; que no hubo ni reyes ni reino de Asturias, se llamaban a sí mismos reyes godos, aunque no lo fuesen, con la sede en Oviedo y luego en León, y que el territorito que presumían regir era la Gallaecia; que antes del rey Alfonso II el Casto, después del último cuarto del siglo VIII, es posible que no hubiese ningún rey ni reino porque los diplomas veraces son escasos y las fuentes muy tardías y poco fiables; y que el término Reconquista es reciente, se popularizó en el siglo XIX. Se entiende que al no señalar nada de esto, se muestra una leyenda llena de patrañas, opiniones académicas desfasadas e interpretaciones no confirmadas como hecho de verdad indiscutible. La causa de estas omisiones es que si fuesen prudentes y rigurosos, quedaría desautorizado todo el mundo jacobeo y con él sus beneficios ideológicos...
