This dissertation deals with pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela in the context of the socalled Papal Reform (11th - 12th centuries). We argue that the reform of the Roman Church between the middle of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century contributed to the ascension of Santiago de Compostela as one of the main pilgrimage centers in Western Christendom. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a closer relationship between the Spanish monarchy and the clergy at the time also contributed to such an outcome. We draw on the Historia Compostelana as our primary historical source. The period considered here (middle 11th century - early 12th century) coincides with Alfonso VI's rule as king of León (1065-1109) and Diego Gelmirez (1100-1140) as bishop and eventually archbishop of Compostela. It was Alfonso VI and Diego Gelmirez, together with reformist popes, who made Compostela the main pilgrimage center in Western Christendom in the 12th century
