Overview
In the heart of Rome, the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore safeguards an artistic and spiritual heritage of extraordinary significance: a journey through the centuries, where history intertwines with faith and art reaches peaks of exceptional refinement.
Among the most precious treasures are the V-century musivi cycles, among the best preserved in the world.
The basilica's architecture presents itself as a fascinating layered palimpsest: early Christian elements coexist harmoniously with medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque interventions, telling over fifteen centuries of transformations.
The visit itinerary also includes the exciting access to the Bethlehem Nativity Scene, a relic of great devotional value, and to the museum areas, where artifacts, relics, and works that expand and deepen the historical and artistic meaning of the basilica are kept.
