This apartment is just a walk away from the very first Christian basilica in Rome and the highest-ranking Roman Catholic church in the world. One of the four major papal basilicas of Rome, Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano was commissioned by the emperor Constantine in 324 AD. Until the 14th century, this church was the original place of worship for the pope.
It's home to many treasures, including a papal throne and a special papal altar that only the current pope may preside. There is also the Altar of the Holy Sacrament, which is believed to be the very table used by Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper. The church also has 12 niches, designed by architect Francesco Borromini, filled with Baroque sculptures of the Apostles.
