The Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, one of Rome’s four papal basilicas, is a major historical and religious landmark. Visitors can admire its grand architecture, including the impressive façade and the beautiful interior with its vast nave, adorned with stunning mosaics. The basilica houses the papal altar and the Holy Stairs (Scala Sancta), which are believed to have been climbed by Jesus during his trial before Pontius Pilate. The basilica also contains the tombs of several popes, making it a significant site for both art and history enthusiasts.
The Scala Santa (Holy Stairs) in Rome is a sacred site for Christian pilgrims. These 28 marble steps are believed to be the very stairs that Jesus ascended during his trial before Pontius Pilate. The stairs are located next to the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano and are traditionally climbed on the knees by visitors as an act of devotion. The steps are enclosed in a wooden structure to protect them, and visitors can also view beautiful frescoes that adorn the walls. The Scala Santa offers a deeply spiritual experience, rich in religious history.
