Abstract

The Via Tiburtina and its eastern extensions connect two places of fundamental significance for the medieval and post-medieval cult of the apostle Thomas in Europe: Ortona and Rome. The contribution focuses on how the emergence of both sites established a new material foundation for the cult of the Apostle Thomas in Europe, and on the objects, persons and practices related to this place-making process – like hiking on the newly designed Cammino di San Tommaso in the footsteps of St. Birgitta of Sweden.
