Pilgrimage in Medieval Ireland

To date my research has concentrated on the history and archaeology of pilgrimage in early and late medieval Ireland. In 2010 I completed a PhD thesis 'Pilgrimage in Medieval Ireland AD 600-1600'. I am also very interested in pilgrim roads and routeways as well in pilgrim souvenirs and burials in Ireland and the rest of Europe. Recently I have begun to record modern pilgrimages at holy wells in Ireland.

Montserrat Abbey (Spain)

The image of Our Lady of Montserrat, is a 12th-century Romanesque polychrome carving. Pope Leo XIII proclaimed Our Lady of Montserrat Patron Saint of Catalonia in 1881. The Sanctuary is made up of two large blocks of buildings, the Basilica, together with Monastery buildings, and the buildings for tourists and pilgrims.
