Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

The last stop on the tour is the Holy Staircase, a place of deep devotion that, according to tradition, houses the 28 steps that Jesus allegedly walked to Pontius Pilate on the day of his condemnation. Pilgrims from all over the world come here to climb these steps on their knees as an act of penance and prayer. During the visit, we will also admire the Chapel of the Sancta Sanctorum, an ancient private chapel of the popes, which holds precious relics. The Holy Staircase offers a moment of recollection and faith, a symbolic path that recalls the passion and sacrifice of Christ.
