CHRISTIAN Rome: in the footsteps of Saint Paul

Follow the steps of the Apostle Paul during his last days in Rome. On this tour you will learn about the Mamertine prison, considered the most ancient jail of the world, where St Peter and St Paul were imprisoned for almost nine months before being executed. Then we'll move to the outskirts of the Eternal city to visit the Tre Fontane (Three Fountains) Abbey, raised on the spot where St. Paul was beheaded by order of Emperor Nero in 67 A.C. Finally we will reach the outstanding Papal Basilica of Saint Paul outside the Walls, originally built by the Emperor Constantine upon the tomb of the Apostle Paul, and where, today, its stunning Gothic canopy, miraculously survived to the big fire in 1823, still treasures the mortal remains of St Paul.
