Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore – one of the four main basilicas of the eternal city, that is, the cathedral of the highest rank. It was founded in the early Christian period. In the 5th century, the church was considerably enlarged and rebuilt at the behest of Pope Sixtus III. It was then that the basilica was dedicated to the Mother of God, where the remains of the manger of Jesus Christ are kept.

It is also called the Basilica of Eudoxia after the Empress Licinia Eudoxia, who gave the chains of St Peter, with which, according to legend, the Apostle was bound before his execution, to Pope Leo I for safekeeping in the church, and also houses Michelangelo’s famous statue of Moses.
