Via Sancti Martini

Saint Martin's Way, the great cultural route of the Council of Europe

Welcome to St Martin's Way

In 2005, the Council of Europe designated the route from Szombathely to Tours as a European Cultural Route to showcase the life and outstanding monuments of the cult of one of Europe's most popular saints, Martin. Saint Martin was born in 316 or 336 in Savaria in Pannonia, now Szombathely. The son of a military tribune, he himself became a soldier at the age of fifteen. He distinguished himself among the soldiers of the Roman Empire by his kindness and compassion for the sick and the poor.
At the age of eighteen, he was baptised in Amiens, the town where he gave half his cloak to a beggar who was suffering. In a dream Jesus told him that he was the beggar he had done good to. The vision made him a Christian, and he left the military and went on a conversion journey.
