Description

San Justo de la Vega is a small locality with historical significance on the Camino de Santiago. Located in the province of León, it has been an important stop for pilgrims since the Middle Ages. The town is situated near the confluence of the rivers Tuerto and Jerga, which provided a strategic location for trade and travel. One of the main historical attractions in San Justo de la Vega is the Church of San Juan Bautista, a Romanesque-style church dating back to the 12th century. The church features a beautiful apse and a striking bell tower, which has become a symbol of the town. In the past, the church served as a place of worship and rest for pilgrims, and it continues to welcome visitors today. Additionally, the town's bridge, Puente de San Justo, has played a significant role in the history of the Camino de Santiago, as it allowed pilgrims to safely cross the river Tuerto on their journey.
