Step by Step
The Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the most impressive temples in Rome and is one of the four main papal basilicas in the city. With this ticket you will have priority access to the basilica and its museum, avoiding waiting to focus on what really matters: discovering its history and art.
During your visit you will be able to walk through the chapels that hold centuries of devotion and contemplate up close the famous mosaic of the Miracle of the Snows, a unique work located in the Loggia of Blessings. This mosaic narrates the legend of the foundation of the basilica and is one of the most emblematic pieces inside.
The entrance ticket also includes access to spaces normally less known to the casual visitor, such as the Hall of the Popes, the refined Bernini Staircase and the Liberian Museum, which houses liturgical objects, works of art and documents of enormous historical value.
To visit Santa Maria Maggiore is not just to visit a church: it is to immerse yourself in centuries of faith, art and papal power in the heart of Rome. The majesty of its architecture and the value of its collections make this experience an essential stop for those who want to delve into the spiritual and cultural legacy of the eternal city.
Make the most of your visit to observe the contrasts between the sacred and the artistic, as each room and each work is charged with symbolism and detail, offering a complete vision of the importance of this basilica in the history of Rome and the Church.
