What to expect
San Pietro in Vincoli
The Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli is a historic church in Rome that dates back to the 5th century and holds significant importance as the resting place of Saint Peter's chains, said to be the chains that bound him while he was imprisoned in Jerusalem. The basilica's simplicity and lack of ornate decoration make it stand out from other churches of the same period, exuding a sense of humility and reverence. The main attraction and most sacred relic within the church is the reliquary under the altar, which safeguards the chains of Saint Peter, a treasured possession that draws pilgrims and devotees from around the world.

Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, a majestic church in Rome, stands as the largest and one of the most revered churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary. According to legend, the basilica was built on the site where Pope Liberius had a vision of the Virgin Mary, and a miraculous blanket of snow appeared on the hill on August 5th, a day typically known for its sweltering Roman heat. To commemorate this miraculous event, every year on this date, white flower petals are gently dropped from the ceiling, recreating the extraordinary sight of snowfall in the midst of summer.

The Basilica di San Clemente is a significant minor basilica in Rome, dedicated to Pope Clement I, and is notable for its archaeological richness that traces the history of the city from the early days of Christianity through the Middle Ages. The structure consists of three layers: the current church built in the 12th century, a 4th-century church beneath it, and even deeper, a first-century Roman house, showcasing an exceptional timeline of religious and architectural evolution. This unique layering offers visitors a captivating glimpse into the historical development of Christianity and Roman culture.

The Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, commissioned by Emperor Constantine and consecrated in AD 324, stands as a monumental symbol of Christianity, having served as the most important church in Christendom for a millennium and the pope's primary place of worship until the late 14th century. As Rome's official cathedral and the pope's seat as the bishop of Rome, it has undergone various renovations, including significant contributions by Borromini in the 17th century and Alessandro Galilei, who designed the grand white facade added in 1735. This rich architectural history reflects the basilica's enduring significance in both religious and cultural contexts.
