Rome: St Paul’s Martyrdom & Madonna of Revelation Tour｜Italy

Escape the crowds of central Rome and journey into one of the city’s most spiritual and peaceful areas: Tre Fontane, where early Christianity and modern devotion meet.

Your guided tour begins at the Abbey of the Three Fountains, a Trappist monastic complex surrounded by silence and greenery in the EUR district. Learn why this place has been sacred since Roman times and how it became linked to one of the most dramatic moments in Christian history.

Visit the Church of San Paolo alle Tre Fontane, traditionally believed to be the site where Saint Paul was beheaded under Emperor Nero. Your guide will recount the story of Paul’s martyrdom and explain the miracle of the three springs that gave the abbey its name.

Continue through the abbey grounds to the Church of Santa Maria Scala Coeli, connected to the legend of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux and prayers for the souls in purgatory.

The tour concludes at the Sanctuary of Madonna della Rivelazione, the site of a Vatican-approved Marian apparition in 1947. Hear the extraordinary story of Bruno Cornacchiola, his conversion, and the message attributed to the Virgin Mary. End with time for quiet reflection or prayer at the grotto sanctuary.

This experience is ideal for travelers seeking a deeper, more contemplative side of Rome, away from the usual tourist routes.
