For Catholic pilgrims to Rome before and during the Holy Jubileum Year of 2025 our Saints Peter & Paul Pilgrim Tour is an essential spiritual experience. Join us as we venerate their lives and suffering with scriptural reference and a deep knowledge gleaned from genuine devotion and theological study. On our way, we’ll see the chains that bound each of them, the sarcophagus of St Paul and even an original Michelangelo! Our tour begins at the Fountain of the Porter on a tiny side street just a stone’s throw from Via del Corso and our first destination is the Church of Santa Maria in Via Lata. Consecrated as a church following the legalisation of Christianity in the Roman Empire in the 5th century, it is at this location that St Paul was kept under house arrest for two years. Moving on, we’ll follow Via del Corso down through Piazza Venezia, passing the mesmerising spectacle that is the Victor Emmanuel II National Monument on our way to the Mamertine Prison Museum. An imperial prison for those considered dangerous enemies of the Roman state in ancient times, both Saints Peter and Paul were incarcerated here before their eventual executions. Our next stop is the magnificent Basilica of St Peter in Chains, perched high up near the Colle Oppio park which offers stupendous views of the Colosseum. Known locally as San Pietro in Vincoli, this stunning church is home to the chains that bound St Peter in Jerusalem as well as Michelangelo’s original statue of Moses. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, as the saying goes, and so following on from our visit to St Peter in Chains you’ll experience life as a 21st century Roman citizen when we take the metro five stops down the blue line to the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls. One of the four Major Basilicas of Rome, St Paul’s is an essential element on the itinerary of any pilgrim to Rome and is the location of one of the four Holy Doors that will be open during the Jubileum year so that those who pass through it may receive Partial Indulgence. Founded by the Emperor Constantine in the early 4th century—the same emperor who finally legalised Christianity in 313—San Paolo is a treasure trove of rich symbolism and catechism, and home to the sarcophagus of St Paul himself. Here is where our Saints Peter & Paul Pilgrim Tour reaches its conclusion. To get back into the historical centre you can make the same short trip back on the metro, though you may well be tempted to explore this typically Roman suburban neighbourhood with its diverse architecture, famous murals and myriad of great spots to eat lunch.
