According to several sources, not from the cartographic world, the Sacred Line of San Michele unites seven dedicated shrines to the Archangel, from Ireland to Israel, with a mysterious and suggestive straight line.

Michele actually follows a straight line on the representation of Mercator, thus proving the membership of the seven sanctuaries at a rhumb line on the earth surface.
