When you see the scallop shell in images or Romanesque art and architecture you will know that this is a reference to pilgrimage made to Santiago de Compostela. It is used most frequently as a symbol along the trail, particularly in Spain. However, the Romanesque cathedrals in France along the Le Puy route also have this symbol in their sculptures. This is a good indicator that the true pilgrim route went through these communities one thousand years ago.
