San Lorenzo fuori le Mura is one of Rome’s ancient basilicas, built in honor of St. Lawrence, a Christian martyr. Known for its serene atmosphere and stunning mosaics, the basilica houses the saint’s relics and offers a glimpse into Rome's early Christian heritage. Located outside the city walls, this peaceful site is rich in history, art, and spiritual significance.
-
Santa Croce in Gerusalemme is a revered basilica in Rome, known for housing relics of the True Cross brought from Jerusalem. This historic church offers visitors a profound spiritual experience, with its quiet chapels and ancient artifacts, including fragments of the Holy Cross, adding to its deeply sacred atmosphere.
-
The official headquarters of the Pope. The famous church is topped with impressive statues along the outer face and full of beauty inside. The main walls are covered in beautiful frescos from the Renaissance age and the main nave, restored four centuries ago, will leave you in awe! It is one of the oldest churches of Rome, but the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano is something more: a real artistic jewel.
-
San Sebastiano fuori le Mura is a historic basilica located along the ancient Appian Way. Dedicated to Saint Sebastian, an early Christian martyr, this church features beautiful architecture and ancient relics. Its serene atmosphere and remarkable mosaics make it a meaningful stop for pilgrims and visitors alike.
-
The Catacombs of San Sebastiano are among the oldest Christian burial sites in Rome, located beneath the Basilica of San Sebastiano. These underground tunnels hold centuries-old tombs, inscriptions, and symbols of early Christian faith. Accompanied by a guide, visitors can explore this fascinating subterranean world and gain insight into Rome's early Christian history and burial traditions.
-
The Basilica of Saint Paul outside the Walls testifies the history of the Holy Church in Rome. The main altar, surmounted by a stunning Gothic canopy, treasures the mortal remains of St Paul, who was buried here. The giant basilica was built as early as the V century AD and features original Roman columns, a great mosaic from the Middle Age, but also the portraits of all the Popes in history, including the last ones: Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI.
-
Sunlight streaming through high windows, the weight of Michelangelo’s dome above, Bernini’s marble unfolding in sweeping curves—St. Peter’s Basilica overwhelms yet elevates. Private tours refine this immensity into an experience attuned to elegance and meaning.
