Luggage storageBasilica of San Giovanni in Laterano

The Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome is the cathedral of the city and the oldest of the four papal basilicas in Italy. Founded in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine, it served as the primary papal seat long before the current focus shifted to St. Peter’s. The church’s grand facade, opulent interior, ancient mosaics and the adjoining Lateran complex reflect centuries of architectural change from late antiquity through the Baroque era.

San Giovanni’s history is tied to key moments in Christian and Roman history: imperial patronage, medieval pilgrimages and repeated reconstructions after fires and earthquakes. Visitors can see the medieval baptistery, the ornate cloister, and nearby devotional sites such as the Scala Santa (Holy Stairs), reputedly brought from Jerusalem and climbed by pilgrims on their knees for indulgences.

People come for worship, history and art—pilgrims attend papal and local ceremonies while tourists admire mosaics, papal tomb inscriptions and the basilica’s role as Rome’s cathedral. Practical tips: San Giovanni sits by the San Giovanni metro stop (Line A), entry is usually free though special chapels or events may have restrictions, and it remains an active parish and cultural focal point in the city.
