Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

If you guess that St Peter basilica in Vatican is the highest rank of Catholic Church in the world you might be surprised that you’re wrong. The honor belongs to the St. John Lateran Arcbasilica in Rome.

Older than St. Peter Basilica, St. John Lateran Arcbasilica is a magnificent church with rich histories dating back to the early catholic church. Although the exterior is rather modest compared to the St. Peter, the interior is breathtaking with all decorations, frescoes and the huge twelve apostle statues.

Don’t leave Rome without visiting it.
