Join us on a unique experience to discover Rome's main Jubilee churches, a journey that will take you through centuries of history, art, faith and culture.
During the tour, you will have the opportunity to pass through at least one holy door and visit not only the three main Jubilee churches, but also three other historical wonders related to the Jubilee: Saint Clement, Holy Cross in Jerusalem and Holy Spirit in Sassia. Each church has a fascinating story to tell, and our expert guide will reveal the secrets behind each sacred site. We will visit the three Jubilee churches of Rome (St. Peter; St. John Lateran; St. Mary Major) true symbols of faith and spirituality, and deepen their importance in the context of the Jubilee, a tradition that marks the return to justice and hope.
It will be an unforgettable journey that will allow you to immerse yourself in the heart of the Eternal City!
