Itinerary and highlights

One of Rome's most famous squares - and yet, sometimes mysteries hide in plain sight! We will share with you the secrets of the "twin" churces (but are they really identical?), of the echo around the square, and much more...

This little church, a true hidden gem of Rome, displays the chains that held Saint Peter captive both in Jerusalem and in Rome - and yet, it became famous for something else: the spectacular statue of Moses by Michelangelo is here, with a little peculiarity... come see it for yourself!

France's national church is ready to show you its wonderful masterpieces - starting from its breathtaking façade (a few steps away from the ancient Pantheon), all the way to the Chapel of St. Louis (the first Chapel entirely designed by a woman!), and to Contarelli Chapel's three incredible paintings by Caravaggio. The Church offers free entrance during the day.
Disclaimer: please notice that this stop may be modified based on religious holidays, national and bank holidays, and/or road closures.

Speaking of mysteries and illusions... Saint Ignatius' ceiling will take your breath away with its spectacular "false perspective". But, if everybody stops at the first part of the ceiling, we will keep going to show you something not everybody notices...

Did you know that this ancient Roman, pagan temple ... is actually a Catholic Church? And, even before all that, this area hosted an Egyptian sacred complex ...

If you were to see if from above, you would be amazed by the peculiar shape of this square - did you know it was originally built as the Stadium of Domitians, and that the ruins are still partially visible...?
