One of the main attributes of the Saint James Way was installed in Vinnytsia – a cairn showing the distance and direction to the city of Santiago de Compostela, the final point of this cultural and pilgrimage route that runs through Europe.
The cairn was brought here from Spain. It was donated to Vinnytsia by the government of Xunta de Galicia, with the capital in Santiago de Compostela, in cooperation with the European Federation of St. James Way as part of the Simbolos Jacobeos en el mundo project. It is made of granite and is just over a meter high. It depicts a ceramic shell (a symbol of the St. James pilgrimage routes), a yellow arrow pointing west, a map of Europe, and a bronze plaque indicating the distance (4,625 km).
The cairn was installed in Vinnytsia on July 25 on the occasion of St. James’ Day and the official certification of the Camino Podolico as part of the first European cultural route. It can be seen in front of the central bridge over the Southern Buh River from the Roshen embankment.
