The church was breathtaking in itself but all the statues of the 12 apostles were amazing. A truly enjoyable experience

Progress around Rome was slow due to traffic. You need to allow plenty of time and not suitable if time is short. We had 2.5 hours before we needed to return to the airport but having boarded at stop 2 we had to get off at stop 5 and then rush to Colosseo to get the Metro back to hotel checkout.

About: Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

St. John Lateran will both amaze and compel. It’s the oldest basilica in Christendom and dates to the 300s. It was lovingly and grandly restored in the 1700s and has the honor of being the Pope’s cathedral. This lineage combines with its visual beauty to bestow great majesty upon it.

Among other marvels, the basilica contains the Holy Door, which the Pope opens once every 25 years, and the Sacred Steps. These are actual steps that Jesus walked on during the Passion and were transported here from Jerusalem.
