Church of St. Peter’s in Chains
The first stop on your Michelangelo Rome Tour will be the Church of St. Peter’s in Chains, known in Italian as San Pietro in Vincoli.
Marvel at one of Michelangelo’s masterpieces, “the Moses”, an impressive statue, designed for the tomb of Pope Julius II and carved with the best blocks of Carrara marble.
Capitoline Hill Rome
Next, walk down cobblestone streets, while listening to your tour guide telling you stories and anecdotes about Michelangelo and Rome.
Strolling through Rome’s historic center we will reach Piazza del Campidoglio on the Capitoline Hill, a square with a unique perspective planned and designed by the artist. Commissioned by Pope Paul III to impress king Charles V, who was expected to come to Rome in 1538, the square was intended to be a symbol of Rome’s greatness and splendor.
The Risen Christ
Continue your stroll through the charming streets of the Eternal City, and end your tour inside the Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra la Minerva, where you’ll see the Cristo della Minerva, also known as the Risen Christ, up close and personal.
