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.

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.

The Basilica di San Clemente is a fascinating historical church in Rome, renowned for its layered history. Beneath its 12th-century structure lies an ancient 4th-century church and even earlier Roman buildings, including a Mithraic temple. This hidden gem offers a unique glimpse into Rome's evolution, with beautiful frescoes, mosaics, and a rich archaeological past.

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.
