There are over 900 churches in Rome, which have been built during 2000 years of Christianity since Constantine’s triumph over the pagans in the 4th century AD…seeing them all is impossible, but you can see the most iconic! Read on to find out what the tour includes.

Your first stop will be at the Archbasilica of Saint John in Lateran, the original seat of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). This is considered one of the oldest basilicas in the city been built under Pope Melchiade (311), featuring vast works of art and one of the Vatican’s holiest relics: the Scala Santa, or the Holy Stairs, a set of 28 white marble steps which are said to have been climbed in Jerusalem by Jesus himself and brought to Rome in the 4th century.

Just around the corner is the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, which holds some of the most important relics dating back to the time of Christ believed to be part of the original cross. According to tradition, the basilica’s floor was covered with soil brought from Jerusalem, thus the name.

Moving on to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major a rare example of a well preserved Byzantine interior featuring prestigious mosaics, ordered by  Pope Liberio (356) who is said to have dreamed the blessed virgin telling him where to build the new church.  Here you have the unique opportunity to visit a closed area in the upper level of the church with a private guide. Entrance to Santa Maria Maggiore is €10.00 per person.

Quite closeby lies the Basilica of Saint Peter in Chains, which holds what is believed to be the chains that held St. Peter while he was held captive in the Mamertine Prison in Jerusalem. These chains are visible today and are adjacent to Michelangelo’s famed statue of Moses sculpture.

The highlight of the day will be the Vatican Museums and Saint Peter’s Basilica the largest church in the world. Whether it be works of art or its rich religious history, rest assured you won’t be disappointed. The Vatican is home to highly-praised Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. We highly recommend for you to pre-purchase your Vatican tickets online for a 2 pm entry.

The Basilica of Saint Paul Outside The Walls will be your next stop. This is the final resting place of the Apostle Paul, marked by a marble tombstone, lying below the Papal Altar, bearing the inscription PAULO APOSTOLO MART or Apostle Paul martyr. The tombstone sits above a huge sarcophagus.
