El siglo del milagro

They say that Compostela was born when Pelagius, the hermit, was guided by mysterious lights to the tomb of the Apostle James. Hence the name Campus Stellae (Campus of the Stars). And also that King Alfonso II was the first pilgrim in history. And that thus began a massive influx of pilgrims that has not ceased to this day. An incredible succession of miracles, right? Well, I regret to say that all of this is a lie. A legend, nothing more. A fantasy. In the early days, around an unidentified tomb there was nothing more than a modest village and a small church. The Vatican itself denied that it could be the tomb of James, and some bishops were even excommunicated for defending that theory. It was in 1068 that Diego was born. He made Compostela an archdiocese and built the most magnificent cathedral in the world. He crowned kings and enthroned popes, commissioned the writing of the most magnificent codices, and elevated the humble Compostela to the level of Rome and Jerusalem. He created the Way of St. James, and around it, he forged Europe. This is his story, and it is real. This is what he built in the century of miracles. Until now, you knew the legend. Now you will discover the truth.
