Description

Redecilla del Camino is a small village with a rich history related to the Camino de Santiago. It is located in the province of Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León, Spain. The village has been a significant stop for pilgrims since the Middle Ages, as it was one of the first settlements encountered after crossing the Montes de Oca, a challenging and historically dangerous stretch of the Camino. One of the most notable historical features in Redecilla del Camino is the Church of San Lorenzo, a 12th-century Romanesque church. The church houses a beautiful baptismal font, which is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture. This font has been used to baptize pilgrims for centuries and is a testament to the village's longstanding connection to the Camino de Santiago. Additionally, Redecilla del Camino was once home to a pilgrim hospital, further emphasizing its importance as a stop for weary travelers on their spiritual journey.
