Rome lies at the heart of the Christian faith as the place where the two great apostles, Peter and Paul, both taught and died. Since the sixth century, books have been written about this wonderful city with the aim of encouraging pilgrims to come and draw spiritual strength from its history, culture, and worship. Travel through Rome relates the challenges and inspirations of early Roman Christians for the benefit of today’s Christian travelers and readers.

The guide introduces the traveler to the different ancient sites that make Rome unique: from the significant places of the Roman Empire to the catacombs of the early Christian communities up to the magnificent buildings of the Roman Catholic church. Historical introductions coupled with artistic explanations help us to appreciate the various monuments and works.
