Way of St James in Sicily

Sicily has a surprising Compostelan tradition. The intense devotion to the apostle on the island dates not from the time of Spanish rule, but from the 11th century, when the brothers Robert and Roger, Norman nobles and adventurers, wrested Sicily from the Saracens and put an end to the emirate.
