Hi, I am Maria Grazia, licensed Tour Guide in Rome. Follow me in this pay-what-you-wish* guided tour to the Basilica of Saint Peter, the largest in the world and the true heart of the Catholic Church.
The tour starts in Castel Sant’Angelo, once a monumental mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, later transformed into a fortress and prison of the Papal States. Many well-known characters were locked up in the cells of this famous monument that stands out on the right bank of the Tiber river. The visit does not include the entrance to the Castle. We will later move along Via della Conciliazione to Piazza San Pietro where you can admire the wonderful Colonnade of Gian Lorenzo Bernini before entering the most famous Basilica in the world. I will tell you about the long and complex history of this place so significant in the Christian history of the city of Rome and I will illustrate the treasures and relics preserved in this magnificent Basilica. To access the Basilica appropriate clothing is required so I recommend no shorts and covered shoulders.
Minimum 2 people
Meeting Point: at the main entrance of Castel Sant’Angelo, the one facing the bridge
