EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the spiritual connection between Spain and Portugal, depicted through the iconic Pilgrimage Chapel of Born Jesu Do Monte. Dating back to circa 1900, this image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich history and devotion shared by these two neighboring countries. The Pilgrimage Chapel of Born Jesu Do Monte, located in the Spanish town of Arcos de la Frontera, straddles the border between Spain and Portugal. The chapel is a significant stop on the Camino de Santiago, a popular Christian pilgrimage route that has drawn millions of travelers for over a thousand years. In this photograph, we see a bustling scene of pilgrims and locals gathered around the chapel. People are seen huddled in doorways, deep in conversation, while others mill about on the pavement, taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The intricately designed chapel facade, adorned with colorful tiles and a towering lantern, stands proudly in the background. The houses surrounding the chapel are a testament to the architectural beauty of the region. Their warm, earthy tones and traditional Spanish and Portuguese design elements add to the charm of the scene. The image is a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted cultural ties that bind Spain and Portugal, and the enduring power of faith and pilgrimage to bring people together. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, a valuable archive of historical images that offers a unique glimpse into the past. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Spain, Portugal, and the Camino de Santiago, and a beautiful reminder of the power of human connection and spirituality.
