Frómista
Frómista is a small town in the province of Palencia, known for its rich history and architectural heritage. One of the most significant historical landmarks in Frómista is the Church of San Martín, a prime example of Romanesque architecture. Constructed in the 11th century, the church was commissioned by Queen Mayor of Castile as part of a monastery and pilgrim hospital complex, which served the needs of the pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago. The town's history is deeply intertwined with the Camino de Santiago, as it was an important resting point for pilgrims during the Middle Ages. Frómista's location along the Canal de Castilla also contributed to its development and prosperity. The town's historical significance and architectural treasures continue to make it a popular stop for modern-day pilgrims traversing the Camino de Frances.
