Holy Rome

A Millennium Guide to the Christian Sights



Years of massive renovations have prepared Rome for the 26th Jubilee and the start of the third millenium.  Today the city  gleams more brilliantly than ever, displaying a fresh, bright face that conjures up the city of centuries gone by, when popes, cardinals, and powerful families were adding magnificent new works of art and architecture to the city's treasure of antiquity and its early Christian relics.  Like no other guidebook before, FODOR'S HOLY ROME explores every aspect of the stunning legacy of Christendom -- and brings you close to the powerful soul of the city that has
drawn travelers and pilgrims since the dawn of the first millennium.


No other guidebook highlights so many sights important to Christianity. Nearly 500 are covered in all, from the Vatican museums to the many churches, cloisters, shrines, and relics of saints.  Covering them all, district by district, this one-of-a-kind guidebook gives you all the tools to explore.
