    The visit to the site was part of an art degree. Here is the tomb of Pope Francis. It has several chapels. For access your bag is checked and has a metal detector. It is a place visited by pilgrims. At times of greatest influx you have to line up to enter. Religious services include confession in several languages. I suggest you check the schedule before visiting. 2025 is the Jubilee Year for the Catholic Church and there is a holy door to earn indulgences. It is recommended to check the church’s works of art online.

    We had limited communications that were confusing and left us without any guidance when we reach Santa Maria Maggiore. We thought we were meeting someone for a guided tour. Instead, after approaching several employees with our voucher, we were given tickets and told where to go on our own.
