| Christian Churches and Basilicas Of Rome |
 Begin your day with a visit to St. John in Latheran, which was the first Papal residence in Rome. Accompanied by an experienced guide, you then move to the lovely Baptistery of St. John, restored to its formal glory. Inside the chapel of St. John Baptist is decorated with a mosaic from the 5th century. Walking along the Via San Giovanni in Laterano, you then stop at the Saint Clemente's Church known to have existed as early as the 3rd century AD. The unique church has a mosaic in the apse and an extremely costly marble laid on the floor by the artist Cosmati. Leaving behind St. Clemente Church, the guide will lead you to the most famous church called St. Peter's in Chains, named after St. Peter was chained up and imprisoned by Leo the Great. Finish the tour St. Mary Major which is one of the seven pilgrimage churches and one of the four patriarchal basilicas of Rome. Price: 26.00 |
