Set out with Columbanus, regarded by some as the ‘first European’, on his incredible journey that will take him from Bangor in Northern Ireland to Bobbio in Italy. Relive the story of his companion, Gallus, who founded a monastic cell on the banks of Lake Constance out of which emerged a great religious and cultural centre that became the present day town of St. Gallen.
