A journey through time to discover the history of the largest and most famous Basilica in the world. From the ancient area of the gardens of Agrippina, passing through the Constantinian building, and ending with the modern Basilica dominated by Michelangelo’s magnificent dome and enriched by Bernini’s splendid colonnade, virtual reality will allow you to visualize and understand the stages of this long, laborious, and fascinating architectural history. But it is not all: a few hundred meters from St. Peter’s Basilica, another building stands and awaits you to reveal two millennia of history and transformations: Castel Sant’Angelo.
Tour #3
Medieval VITERBO
(Click on the map to enlarge it)
The origins of Viterbo date back to the Neolithic period, and in the Middle Ages, its history gave it prominence, among other things, transforming it in 1266 into the papal residence. We will relive the development of the Viterbo territory from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages, see the Piazza del Plebiscito and the Macchina di Santa Rosa, the assassination of Henry of Cornwall in the Piazza del Gesù, and finally, be witnesses to the longest conclave in history…
