Key Visits

St Peter’s Basilica

In Catholic tradition, this is the burial site of its namesake. Famous as a place of pilgrimage and for its historical associations. Like all the earliest churches in Rome, St Peter’s has its entrance to the east and the apse at the west of the building.

Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel

Whilst visiting St Peter’s Basilica many groups also choose to visit the Vatican Museums, including the famous Sistine Chapel. Book a guided tour with NST to help your students understand how the world’s most well-known fresco came to being and what the imagery symbolises.

The Patriarchal Basilicas of Rome

• St Paul Outside the Walls
• St John Lateran
• St Mary Major

Ancient Christian Catacombs

Forming an underground maze in the outskirts of the city, over 40 catacombs provide a glimpse into the world of early Christianity in the city. Along with the countless burial chambers that line the tunnels, the catacombs contain some of the earliest examples of Christian art.

Palatine Hill

The centremost of the Seven Hills of Rome and one of the most ancient parts of the city, looking down on the Forum Romanum and the Circus Maximus.

Colosseum

The largest ever amphitheatre built in the Roman Empire, is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture. The Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, including re-enactments of famous battles and dramas.

The Roman Forum

This site holds the remains of what once was the civic and political heart of the Roman Empire. The site was excavated in the 19th and 20th centuries.

More visits include:

• Time Elevator
• Trevi Fountain
