Your Itinerary

San Pietro in Vincoli

First stop of the tour is Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli. It was built in the fifth century to house Saint Peter’s chains when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem.

Admission Included

Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore was built on the site where the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream of pope Liberius. This is the largest church dedicated to Mary in Rome, and it is one of the four papal basilicas in the city.

Admission Included

Basilica of Santa Pudenziana

The basilica of Santa Pudenziana is recognized as the oldest place of Christian worship in Rome. It is a 4th-century church, dedicated to Saint Pudentiana, sister of Saint Praxedis and daughter of Saint Pudens. It has been suggested that there was no such person as Pudentiana, the name having originated as an adjective used to describe the house of Pudens, Domus Pudentiana.

Admission Included

Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

For 1000 years, Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano was the most important church in Christendom. Commissioned by the emperor Constantine, it was the first Christian basilica built in Rome and, until the late 14th century, was the pope’s main place of worship. It's still Rome’s official cathedral and the pope’s seat as the bishop of Rome. The basilica has been revamped several times, most notably by Borromini in the 17th century, and by Alessandro Galilei, who added the immense white facade in 1735.
