A pilgrimage to Rome can become a privileged opportunity to encounter art, history, culture, nature and spirituality of a journey of faith, but above all to encounter yourself and God, while getting guided to listening, dialogue, sharing, love and peace.
Founded in 1506 by Pope Julius II, the Vatican Museums house a vast collection of works of art collected by the Popes over the centuries. The Raphael Rooms, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Art Gallery (Pinacoteca) are some of the most precious sections of this famous museum in Rome.
The catacombs are underground areas built between the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 3rd century AD, used for the burial and funeral commemoration of members of the first Christian communities. Roma Cristiana offers the possibility of booking guided tours in all the catacombs of Rome open to the public, including the famous Catacombs of San Callisto, those of San Sebastiano and those of Domitilla.
The four papal basilicas of Rome are St. Peter's in the Vatican, St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul Outside the Walls. A guided tour of these basilicas reveals their religious and historical importance, but also unveils true architectural and artistic masterpieces, testimonies to the greatness of Christianity in Rome.
From the Basilica of Saint John, mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world, to the Lateran Palace, home of the Bishop of Rome, the Lateran Complex includes several sites of great interest and historical and religious value..
In addition to the Papal basilicas, Rome is home to an incredible number of other churches and sacred sites, to be visited for the profound testimony of faith they spread, for the depth of their history and for the magnificence of the works of art housed there. Among these are the Mamertine Prison - ancient jail of St. Peter and of St. Paul, the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone and the Basilica of Sancta Maria ad Martyres, the famous Pantheon in Rome.
Organized groups and parishes are always welcome by Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi. We propose hospitality and guide services that combine the experience of faith with the discovery of the cultural, historical, archaeological and artistic heritage that only the city of Rome can offer. Based on your needs, we can work on a multi-day tour of Rome and the Vatican with accommodation, as well as experiences spread over the course of a single day, without overnight stay.
