Pilgrimage Churches
Rome is the capital of the worlds 1.1 billion Catholics. In Rome, youll rub elbows with religious pilgrims from around the worldNigerian nuns, Bulgarian theology students, extended Mexican families, and everyday Catholics returning to their religious roots.
The pilgrim industry helped shape Rome after the fall of the empire. Ancient Romes population peaked at about 1.2 million. When Rome fell in A.D. 476, barbarians cut off the water supply by breaking the aqueducts, Romans fled the city, and the mouth of the Tiber River filled with silt and became a swamp.
During the Dark Ages, mosquitoes ruled over a pathetic village of 50,000...bad news for pilgrims, bad news for the Vatican. Back then, the Catholic Church was the Christian Church. Because popes needed a place fit for pilgrimages, the Church revitalized the city. Owners of hotels and restaurants cheered.
In 1587, Pope Sixtus V reconnected aqueducts and built long, straight boulevards connecting the great churches and pilgrimage sites. Obelisks served as markers. As you explore the city, think like a pilgrim. Look down long roads and youll see either a grand church or an obelisk (from which youll see a grand church).
