the most beautiful place ive ever seen in my life! i almost cried from how beautiful the inside was. take your time to sit down and stare because every corner you look there's more detail to take in ❤️❤️❤️
Another magnificent cathedral in Rome. This is a papal basilica and one of the 7 pilgrim churches. It sits as part of a large square. This allows for easy walking around the building. Entrance to the church requires passing through a metal detector at a security point, but even with all the tourists present, this did not take too long. This interior of the building is ornate and beautiful. Most of the areas in the main part of the church are accessible, though tourists are asked to be respectful as it is in active use and confession and other services take place throughout the day. It is a popular tourist attraction and there were lots of tour groups present, however, this did not detract from the experience. A bit of patience might be needed to get a clear view of parts of the building, but these are certainly worth the wait.
It is a very beautiful building at the heart of Rome. I was surprised to not see that much visitors because this almost felt like it is something that belongs in the Vatican. And it is free!
Gorgeous basilica built in the 5th century. Several burials of popes as well as the head of Bernini family. This church is another must visit as it is filled with ornates and artifacts. Beyond pretty. You do not need a ticket to enter the church but tickets are required for the mass.
Came with my family to light candles and offer prayers for birthday remembrance, for health, forgiveness and peace for the whole world.
Since this basilica is mostly visited by tourists and pilgrims there's a police check point for everyone's safety.

One of the most beautiful basilica in Rome. It is on par to the extravagance within the Vatican City, but away from the massive crowd. The decorative frescoes and ceiling works will leave you in awe.
It is also a great place to visit if you are a fan of Bernini. As he rest here peacefully.

A must see in any visit to Rome. One of the major basilicas of Rome you will not be disappointed spending some time here. Spend some time looking at the beautiful doors. Below the main altar is said to be the remains of Jesus’ crèche. It is one of Pope Francis’ favorite churches to visit.
