Fermare: 15 minutes
A Sacred Landmark on the Appian Way
The Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis, also known as the Church of St. Mary in Palmis, is a small but historically significant church located on the famous Appian Way in Rome. This unassuming site holds great spiritual and historical value, connecting visitors to early Christian traditions and the legacy of Saint Peter.
Highlights:
The Legend of Saint Peter: The church is named after the phrase "Domine, quo vadis?" ("Lord, where are you going?"), which, according to tradition, Saint Peter asked Jesus as he fled Rome to escape persecution. Jesus' response inspired Peter to return to the city and accept his martyrdom.
The Footprints of Christ: Inside the church, visitors can see a marble slab with imprints believed to represent the footprints of Christ, commemorating the legendary encounter.
