The contents of Ad Limina revolve around two main themes: Santiago and the civilisation of pilgrimage more broadly. The journal promotes the publication of studies traditionally included in most scholarly works on the Camino de Santiago, particularly research on history, art, iconography, literature, archaeology, or liturgy. However, it also seeks to encourage the inclusion of less commonly explored fields such as anthropology, geography, medicine, legislation, landscape studies, or the environment, which in recent years have increasingly become part of this area of study.
