St. John Lateran Archbasilica is just three stops on the Metro from the Main Termini in Rome and the purchase of an all day pass, good for buses, trams and the metro, is good investment. |
This raised relief above is in the nave and illustrates the betrayal of Jesus by Judas with a Roman soldier on the right, below left is a statue of St. Peter also located in the nave and below right Mary is rendered at the top of a painting. |
