Celebrate Ancient Jubilee in Rome in the 4 Papal Basilicas
Overview
Begun in the year 1300 by Pope Boniface VIII, the Church has encouraged pilgrims to come to the four most important churches in Christendom - the Major Basilicas - and to enter them through their holy doors.
There are only 4 Major Basilicas in the world - the highest ranking of all churches - and they are all in Rome.
Following in the steps of saints and pilgrims for centuries and millenia before you, we give you the chance to visit the official Four Papal Major Basilicas of Rome and dispose yourselves towards the receipt of the attached indulgences.
The Ancient Four Major Basilicas of Rome are the Basilica of St Peter, the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls, the Basilica of St Mary Major and the Arch-Basilica of St John Lateran.
Pilgrims booked with us on this tour will have the chance to enter each of these Papal Basilicas through their Holy Doors with an expert guide.
