Saint James, also known as Santiago, is the patron saint of Spain. According to tradition, his remains are held in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. His tomb became a major pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages and led to the creation of the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James), a network of routes across Europe leading to his shrine.
