Leaving from Piazza San
Bernardo, crossing Piazza della Repubblica, we will run along Via
Nazionale to end up visiting the Basilica of St.Mary Major, built on the
Esquiline Hill in 352 A.D.
The tour will then continue visiting the Basilica of St.John in Lateran,
cathedral of Rome and of the world. Hence, we will go to the Holy Stairs,
climbed by Jesus Christ to reach Pilate's Palace. From here the tour will
start again by coach, crossing Piazza San Giovanni and Via Latina.
Skirting along the Mura Latine, the tour will pass through the Porta di
San Sebastiano to arrive on the Ancient Appian Way, where we will find the
Chapel of "Domine Quo Vadis". We arrive finally at the Catacombs
of St.Callixtus, where the visit will take about 45 minutes (on Wednesdays
the visit will be at the Catacombs of St.Domitilla). On the way back, from
the coach you will have a view of the Caracalla Baths.
