This is a statue of Saint John the Baptist below the main Altar.

The skulls of Saints Peter and Paul are preserved immediately above the painting of the Crucifixion, right above the altar.

This is a view of the Basilica from the rear of the Church.

The doors from the Senate or Curia building in the Roman Forum were installed in the Lateran Basilica in the 15^th or 16^th Century.

Can I come in???

This Sacred Lateran Basilica is the Head and Mother of all the Churches of the City and the World!

Within this building are housed the steps that Our Lord ascended as He was brought before Pontius Pilate.

The Communists still make a lot of noise over here!
