(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
San Pietro in Vincoli
The Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli, dating back to the fifth century, is renowned for housing the chains believed to have imprisoned Saint Peter in Jerusalem. This significant church showcases remarkable artistry, including Michelangelo's famous statue of Moses, and stands as a testament to early Christian architecture and the enduring legacy of Saint Peter's martyrdom.
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, the largest church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome, is one of the city's four papal basilicas. Built on the site where Pope Liberius dreamed of the Virgin Mary's apparition, the basilica is historically significant, particularly marked by the miraculous snowfall on August 5, symbolizing her guidance. Each year, this event is commemorated with white flower petals raining down from the ceiling, evoking the miraculous moment and enhancing the basilica's spiritual ambiance.
Basilica of Santa Pudenziana
The Basilica of Santa Pudenziana, a 4th-century church in Rome, is dedicated to Saint Pudentiana, who is said to be the sister of Saint Praxedis and the daughter of Saint Pudens. Some scholars speculate that Pudentiana may be a name derived from an adjective related to the Domus Pudentiana, the household of Pudens, rather than a distinct historical figure. Notably, this basilica is recognized as the oldest known place of Christian worship in Rome, making it an important site in the history of early Christianity.
