What you can expect

Visit the Basilica of the “Miracle of the Snow”: Legend has it that it was built on the site where it inexplicably snowed on August 5, an event commemorated each year with a shower of white petals.
Get into the Basilica with a ticket that gives you fast-track, priority access.
Your visit includes admission to the Loggia of Blessings, the Hall of the Popes, Bernini’s Staircase, and the Liberian Museum.
After this section, you will tour the Basilica, where you can admire:

  • Ancient mosaics: 5th-century mosaic cycles that are among the most valuable in the world in terms of their state of preservation and historical significance;
  • Layered architecture: The interior features an early Christian structure, while the exterior boasts a Baroque façade and the tallest Romanesque bell tower in Rome;
  • Religious treasures: The basilica houses the relic of the Holy Crib (the Bethlehem Nativity scene) and the famous Salus Populi Romani icon.
