Summary:

Christians have always made their way to Rome to pray at the tombs of the Apostles Peter and Paul and to visit the city's treasure-filled churches. This volume offers the modern pilgrim essential information on fifty churches. Especially detailed treatment is given to St. Peter's Basilica and to the basilicas of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, St. Paul Outside-the-Walls, and St. Lawrence Outside-the-Walls. The text provides each church's history and a description of its exterior and interior. Floor plans indicate architectural highlights and the location of artistic treasures.
