Rome For Pilgrims

Here comes the best program for mostly Catholics interested in going deep into the details of the Catholic religion. Welcome to the home of the Pope and the Catholic council. The tradition of visiting all seven churches was started by Philip Neri around 1553 & included visits to St. Peter's Basilica, then St. Paul Outside-the-Walls, St. Sebastian's, St. John Lateran, Holy Cross-in-Jerusalem, St. Lawrence-Outside-the Walls & finally St. Mary Major.

Continue to San. Paolo Fuori le Mura, one of the patriarchal monasteries of Rome & return to the center of Rome to visit the Lateran Basilica & Santa Maria Maggiore.
