The Holy Crib

The many chapels, from the most ornate to the humblest, built by popes, cardinals and pious confraternities, ancient mosaics that tell all the history of Salvation, the Baptistry and finally the relic of the Holy Crib complete the ensemble of splendours contained within these walls. Each column, painting, sculpture and ornament of this Basilica resounds with history and the prayers of our ancestors.
