DESCRIPTION

Follow the path of popes and pilgrims on a journey through Rome’s Jubilee history. Every 25 years, this event transforms the Eternal City into the heart of Christianity.
We begin at the Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, dedicated to the Jesuit founder. Inside, Andrea Pozzo’s illusionistic ceiling fresco creates an “open sky” effect, a Baroque marvel symbolizing ascent to heaven. From here, we make our way to the Pantheon, a testament to Rome’s transition from paganism to Christianity.
Next, we visit San Luigi dei Francesi, where Caravaggio’s St. Matthew series captivates with its striking drama. A short walk leads us to Piazza Navona, a Baroque masterpiece. In 1650, Pope Innocent X transformed this grand space into a lake for Jubilee celebrations. You’ll admire Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers and Borromini’s Sant’Agnese in Agone—two artists locked in a legendary rivalry.
Continuing along Via dei Coronari, once filled with rosary sellers catering to pilgrims, we soak in the atmosphere of what was once a bustling route for Jubilee visitors. The street now houses charming vintage shops and artisanal boutiques.
We arrive at Castel Sant’Angelo, a fortress that has served as an emperor’s tomb, a papal refuge, and a key stronghold linked to the Vatican by the secret Passetto di Borgo. Finally, our journey culminates at St. Peter’s Basilica, where the Jubilee begins with the opening of the Holy Door. Standing beneath Bernini’s grand colonnades, you’ll hear stories of popes, pilgrims, and power struggles, immersing yourself in the sacred history of Rome.
Join us on this Jubilee journey, where faith, art, and history converge. You’ll leave with unforgettable stories and a deeper connection to this sacred city that has attracted pilgrims for centuries.
