The 24 Best Things to Do in Rome in 2025

"San Giovanni in Laterano is a monumental basilica and the oldest of Rome’s four major basilicas with an ornate Baroque and Rococo façade; it was the original papal seat where popes were crowned until 1870, and the complex includes a palace across the square and a central Gothic Baldacchino that looks oddly out of place after 18th-century renovations." - Matthew Kepnes
