About this sample: eight European sites from the Marches pilgrimage example, with approximate modern coordinates and illustrative dates and source notes. A dated place appears from its stated year onward; undated places remain visible. The years mark selected events in the sample, not the founding of each site or a complete history of pilgrimage. Coastlines are modern.
