- Archbasilica of St. John Lateran - Dedicated to John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, the Basilica of St. John Lateran holds the distinction of being the foremost of Rome’s four major basilicas.
It also serves as the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, and is thus referred to as Omnium urbis et orbis Ecclesiarum Mater et Caput: “Cathedral of Rome and of the World.”
- Scala Santa and Chapel of San Lorenzo - According to ancient Christian tradition, Saint Helena (†335), the mother of Constantine, transported the stairs from Pontius Pilate’s palace in Jerusalem to Rome.
- Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - The Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major stands as a true gem among Roman churches. Its exquisite treasures are invaluable and symbolize the Church’s role as the cradle of Christian artistic civilization in Rome.
- Basilica Papale San Paolo Fuori le Mura - This is the site where Christians honored the memory of Saint Paul the Apostle, who was beheaded under Nero around 65-67 A.D. Emperor Constantine constructed a Basilica above his grave, located along the Ostiense Way.
- Campo de’ Fiori - Lunch Time: Lunch is included only with the Private Tour Option at a typical Roman restaurant.
- St. Peter’s Basilica - St. Peter’s Basilica (if and when open):
The Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican is the papal enclave within the city of Rome.
St. Peter’s Basilica is an active church – the largest in the world – and is therefore free to enter. It is situated within the borders of Vatican City, but the public can easily walk into it from Rome’s streets.
The lines to enter Michelangelo’s renowned basilica, which wind around the grand cloisters outside the square, can be very long. Although they move quickly, they may seem quite daunting.
