We all love the charm of St Valentine’s Day – the anonymous love letters, the red hearts, the romantic dinners, the chocolate gifts… but do you actually know who Saint Valentine was, what did he do, where can you find him and what does he have to do with love?

The only historically certain fact is that he was killed on 14 February most likely in the year 269 (might have been a year or two later) and that he was buried on the outskirts of Rome along the famous via Flamina road.
