Shrines of Italy: Basilica of Saint John Lateran 

The highest-ranking of the 4 major papal basilicas in Rome, the Basilica of Saint John Lateran has a long and storied history. It also serves as the location for the famous "Holy Stairs" ascended by Christ during his trial with Pontius Pilate. What perhaps fewer know is just how many ancient relics and tombs are contained within this "Mother of all Roman Churches!"
Buona giornata!
