Holy Relics Baroque Art and Architecture Rome Tour
Discover how Catholic faith shaped Rome's Baroque art on a three-hour small personal group walk with a Catholic guide. The tour is unique in that it explains the theology of the baroque period and focuses on the important relics as much as the art & architecture that envelop them. At Sant'Agostino &San Luigi , visit St Monica's tomb and become enraptured by Caravaggio. At Sant'Ignazio, discover Jesuit saints' shrines and Pozzo's painted heaven. Follow the theme of Catholic renewal during and after the Reformation through Bernini's Passion angels and his Ecstasy of St Teresa. Your guide explains how sacred images, relics, light and theatrical space express Catholic belief. The route runs from Piazza Navona to Santa Maria della Vittoria via Trevi Fountain. To understand the Baroque one must understand the theology it expresses - from within the artists minds, not just as most tours view it through the eye of the observer.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
