Day 6 – The Sights of Rome
This morning, visit with monumental ST. PETER’S SQUARE and attend the PAPAL AUDIENCE for the chance to see the Pope and receive the Papal Blessing. Visit ST. PAUL OUTSIDE THE WALLS, one of Rome’s four major Papal basilicas built by Constantine on the grave of St. Paul and explore the mysterious ancient CATACOMBS that run under the city.
Next, visit ST. JOHN LATERAN BASILICA and the HOLY STAIRS, brought from Jerusalem to Rome around 326 AD. Then, visit the hallowed halls of ST. MARY MAJOR BASILICA, its beautiful treasures are of inestimable value, and represent the Church’s role as the cradle of Christian artistic civilization in Rome.
*Papal audience is subject to the Popes availability*
