‘Non est in toto sanctior orbe locus’ (There is not a more holy place in the world), the Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in the Lateran, ‘mother of all churches’, is the Pope's official seat, with ornate 18th century facade and statues of the Apostles. The inside is super calm and not overrun by tourists. You can actually have a moment there. #saintjohn #johnthebaptist #basilica #lateran #rome #italy #travel #wanderlust #curioushumanics #martyrs #architecture #art #history #statue
