A legendary alignment of seven sanctuaries dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel stretching 2,000 kilometers from Ireland to Israel. According to tradition, this sacred ley line represents the sword of St. Michael struck into the earth during his battle with Lucifer.
## The Seven Sanctuaries
1. **Skellig Michael** (Ireland) 1. **St Michael's Mount** (Cornwall, England) 1. **Mont Saint-Michel** (Normandy, France) 1. **Sacra di San Michele** (Piedmont, Italy) — the midpoint 1. **Santuario di San Michele Arcangelo** (Monte Sant'Angelo, Puglia, Italy) 1. **Monastery of Archangel Michael Panormitis** (Symi, Greece) 1. **Stella Maris Monastery** (Mount Carmel, Haifa, Israel)
The alignment passes through the Sacra di San Michele at exactly the halfway point between Mont Saint-Michel and Monte Sant'Angelo, the three most important medieval shrines to the Archangel in Europe. Remarkably, all seven sanctuaries align with the setting sun on the summer solstice.
