During the visit you will discover the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four Papal Basilicas of Rome and the oldest and most important Marian shrine in the West. You can admire its extraordinary early Christian structure, which has remained intact over the centuries, and some of its most significant treasures, such as the venerated icon of the Roman Salus Populi and the relic of the Sacred Cradle. Tradition links the foundation of the basilica to the famous “miracle of snow”, still remembered today inside the church. The visit will also allow you to discover important historical memories, pontifical tombs and the tomb of Pope Francis, today a place of prayer and pilgrimage.
