You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Centro Storico Associazione Centro Storico and Abbey of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Next up on the itinerary: contemplate the long history of Palatine Hill, take in the spiritual surroundings of Cupola di San Pietro, pause for some serene contemplation at Santa Maria della Vittoria, and admire the landmark architecture of Chiesa del Gesu.
