Christian Jubilee: Basilicas of Rome Tour

Begun in the year thirteen hundred under Pope Boniface VIII, this sacred tradition invites pilgrims to journey through the four most important churches in Christendom, all found in Rome. These Papal Major Basilicas represent the highest rank within the Church, led by the Archbasilica of St John Lateran, the cathedral of Rome and the mother church of the world. Walking in the footsteps of saints and generations of faithful, pilgrims are welcomed to enter through holy doors and embrace a spiritual path rooted in centuries of devotion. This experience offers a rare opportunity to connect deeply with the Church’s living history while visiting the revered sites of St Peter's Basilica, St Paul Outside the Walls, and St Mary Major.

The journey begins at the Vatican within St Peter’s Basilica, built above the resting place of Saint Peter, where pilgrims admire sacred art, relics, and the renowned Pieta by Michelangelo. Travel continues in comfort to St Paul Outside the Walls, home to the remains of Saint Paul, followed by a visit to St John Lateran, rich in history and sacred relics. The pilgrimage concludes at St Mary Major, where golden interiors, ancient icons, and treasured relics offer a fitting end to this profound spiritual experience. Guided throughout by an expert, this pilgrimage blends history, faith, and artistry into a meaningful and memorable journey.
