A journey marked by the heart

Along the route, you can collect stamps at hospitality sites, sanctuaries, churches, and affiliated facilities. Each stamp tells a part of your story: it is a testimony of the journey you have made, the places you have passed through, and the encounters you have experienced.

Stamps are available at: churches and sanctuaries along the Way, pilgrim accommodation facilities, tourist offices and information points, and some businesses participating in the initiative.

To make your pilgrimage even more meaningful, we encourage you to request a stamp in every location where you stop, creating a visual diary of your experience.

Each stamp on the Credential marks a stage of your story, a sign that will remain over time as a memory of your pilgrimage.
Collecting them means preserving the emotions and the steps taken, making the Way of Saint Anthony an even more authentic and profound experience.
