★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This church is great, make sure you visit when it's doors are open. Free entry, aside from the garden or the steps. I think there's extra charge for that. No shorts or bare shoulders but the church was full of people in shorts, men and women. A basic security check before entry. Nice intricate details, apostle statues, paintings. Really impressive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must-see in your visit to Rome! It was the main papal church before S.Peter’s basilica got built. I was happily surprised when I entered the church. Make sure you visit the cloister/courtyard.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gorgeous basilica. The seat of the Diocese of Rome, the Cathedral of the Pope. This is a very important church and the oldest in Rome (oldest basilica in the whole world). One of the four papal basilicas, so it is a must see when in Rome!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of rhe majestic basilicas of rome, known as the ex papal residency before the vatican was built, this place has a lot of history and rich architecture to it. It is also a place for political gatherings when meetings are held or aometime even music events because of the huge space in the fron and sides of this basilica. Definitely a must visit place if you're in Rome!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An impressive testament of faith.
Free entrance as its still a church, with an immense historical baggage.
The church is the oldest and highest ranking of the four major papal basilicas as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome, holding the title of "archbasilica", as it is mentioned in the historical records. Originally founded in 324, it is the oldest public church in the city of Rome, and the oldest basilica of the Western world.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing interior, lots of rich murals and sculptures. One of the four major basilicas and contrary to appearances, it is the most important church in the world, even more important than the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, she was appointed Mother and Head of the churches of the city and the world. Inside it hides, among others many tombs of popes, decorated with beautiful carvings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Probably the most magnificent church/basilica in Rome. The size of it is just incredible and the art (both in paintings and sculptures) is out of this world. Like all the others it is free to enter and make sure you visit it. Just stay and sit there for 30-45 minutes and enjoy it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing interior! The 12 sculptures of the Apostles inside are true masterpieces. I enjoyed this basilica much more than St Peter's. Really recommend to go there and also see the obelisk next to it - the oldest one in Rome.
