Join this guided tour and discover the 5th-century mosaics of Santa Maria Maggiore, an amazing piece of the Eternal city's past said to contain a piece of the crib that once held the baby Jesus. In the course of the experience, you'll also have the chance to admire its Sistine Chapel, named for Pope Sixtus V.
Although enlarged and redecorated, the basilica retains much of its 5th-century original structure. Admire its mosaics of the fifth century, an ancient icon of the Virgin Mary, the tombs of St. Jerome and of the artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini and, last but not least, its fascinating Sistine Chapel, dedicated to Pope Sixtus V.
