The Lateran Basilica is the cathedral of the Pope as Bishop of Rome. Its origins go back to the 4th century, when Emperor Constantine gave the Lateran property to the Church. For centuries the papal residence stood beside it, and the church was rebuilt many times while keeping its rank as the first church of Christendom.
Pilgrims come to pray in the church whose facade calls it the mother and head of all churches of Rome and the world. The basilica is part of the traditional route of the four major basilicas, and in jubilee years a Holy Door is opened here. Across the square stand the Holy Stairs.
The anniversary of the basilica's dedication is celebrated by the whole Latin Church on 9 November. Before visiting, it is worth checking the current schedule of services on the basilica's official website.
