Traditionally, European cities had a gate through which pilgrims set out for Santiago de compostela. The gate was called ST JAMES GATE.
Notre Dame cathedral has a western door called La Porte st Jacques which leads to the la grande rue saint jacques.

St. James’ Gate in Dublin was traditionally a main starting point for Irish pilgrims to begin their journey on the Camino de Santiago. Their pilgrims’ passport were stamped here before setting sail, usually for La Coruna, north of Santiago. It is still possible for Irish pilgrims to get their passports stamped here, and many do, while on their way to Santiago de Compostella.
It is the birthplace of the famous brewery Guinness which seems an appropriate place to begin a journey
