A city, town or precinct is listed here when at least two sacred places on this site name it as their location (Wikidata’s “located in”) — or one, for a pilgrimage town such as Lourdes or Bodh Gaya that the site keeps because of its shrine. It is worked out here from those places’ own statements — no source labels the list, and the count is not a measure of holiness.

Ordered by how many Wikipedias have an article on each — a measure of how widely a subject is written about, not of its importance to any tradition.
