- San Pietro in Vincoli - The Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli, established in the 5th century, was specifically built to house the chains believed to have restrained Saint Peter during his imprisonment in Jerusalem. This notable church, situated in Rome, is celebrated for its historical and religious significance, as well as for featuring Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the statue of Moses. The basilica represents both the early Christian heritage of the city and the enduring legacy of art and architecture that continues to attract visitors from around the globe.
- Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - The Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore is the largest church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome and one of the city’s four papal basilicas. According to tradition, it was constructed on the site where Pope Liberius dreamed of the Virgin Mary, who instructed him to build a church in her honor. The story recounts that on August 5th, during the intense summer heat, a miraculous snowfall indicated the location for the basilica, leading to the annual celebration where white flower petals are released from the ceiling to commemorate this event. The basilica’s breathtaking architecture and rich history make it a must-visit landmark for those exploring Rome.
- Basilica of Santa Pudenziana - The Basilica of Santa Pudenziana, a 4th-century church in Rome, is dedicated to Saint Pudentiana, traditionally recognized as the sister of Saint Praxedis and the daughter of Saint Pudens. However, some scholars propose that Pudentiana may not have been a historical figure but rather an epithet derived from the Domus Pudentiana, the house of Pudens. This ancient church is renowned for its exquisite mosaics and its significance in early Christian history, symbolizing the integration of faith and Roman culture during its era.
- Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano - St. John Lateran, or Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, stands as the first Christian basilica in Rome, commissioned by Emperor Constantine and consecrated in AD 324. For a millennium, it held the title of the most important church in Christendom, serving as the pope’s principal place of worship until the late 14th century. Today, it continues to function as Rome’s official cathedral and the papal seat, representing the enduring influence of Christian faith and the authority of the papacy throughout history.
