Abstract(s)
This study intends to analyse the several dimensions of pilgrimage routes, highlighting insights that may
be interesting outcomes for researchers, policymakers, pilgrims and organisations related to the spaces
covered by these ways. To achieve these aims, a systematic literature review based on bibliographic
data was considered, as well as the assessment of historical records. The analysis of historical records,
namely those from Roman times, is important to identify the origins of the routes and, in this way, better
justify their itineraries. As main insights, it is worth mentioning the importance of the Ways of Santiago
de Compostela for these contexts associated with the pilgrimage routes. This highlights that some of this
knowledge may be considered as a benchmark to show the dimensions of other routes related to other
pilgrimages, such as those related to the shrines of Mary, Our Lady
