Discover Roma

Rome, the "Eternal City", is one of the three major destinations of Christian pilgrimage, along with Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostela. It is the final destination of the historic Francigena Way and the starting point of the Via di Francesco del Sur. For the pilgrim, arriving in Rome is reaching the heart of Christianity, the seat of the Papacy and the site of the martyrdom of the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The culmination of the journey is the arrival at St. Peter's Square and a visit to the majestic Basilica, which houses the tomb of the first Apostle. The city is an outdoor museum of boundless wealth: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, and hundreds of churches that are treasures of art and faith. For the Jacobean or Franciscan walker, Rome represents a fundamental connection point between the major pilgrimage traditions. Obtaining the "Testimonium", the certificate of pilgrimage to Saint Peter's tomb, is a moment of great significance. It is a city that overwhelms and moves one, an end or beginning of the journey that connects the traveler with the roots of Western civilization.
