There are about a dozen of fabulous museums in Rome: they keep within their walls real treasuries, and often they are hosted into historical and relevant buildings, which are a beauty themselves.
The Major Basilicas of Rome – Papal Churches or Patriarchal Basilicas – are the four most signifying ones within the rank of the Roman Catholic churches.
As many people know, Rome was built on itself many times and for many centuries, raising new buildings on older ones, and thus developing a multi layered city.
