Pilgrimage Routes
Seoul’s Pilgrimage Routes, having been the first in Asia to receive official Vatican recognition, span 44.1km and compromise 24 different sites.
The Routes trace the remarkable beginnings and development of the faith in this country: from its spontaneous acceptance by a group of scholars to the more than a century of persecutions and martyrdom suffered by the early believers.
Martyrs' Shrine : A site of martyrdom or a site containing the graves of martyrs where liturgical celebrations continue to take place
Historic Site of the Church : A site associated with the martyrs (government offices where they were detained and interrogated, residences, memorial sites or churches)
Shrine : In a narrow sense, a place that is unrelated to martyrs but contains traces of the lives and spirituality of the forefathers of taith or a site designated by a person with authority in the parish
Shrines can be a true refuge for rediscovering oneself and finding a new the necessary strength for conversion.

Matters Requiring Attention
Just remember that as you walk along the pilgrimage routes, you will be able to experience the various aspects of history of Korean church and culture that can be found in the heart of Seoul.
The shrines and pilgrimage sites are holy places that require reverence, and we ask you refrain from using foul/disrespectful language and wearing unsuitable clothing (e.g. sleeveless shirts, short shorts, slippers, etc.).
