   Appian Way and Aurelian Walls

   The Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis, located along the Appian Way in Rome, is a small yet deeply significant church tied to Christian tradition and the story of Saint Peter. Highlights: Historical Significance: The name “Domine Quo Vadis” translates to “Lord, where are you going?” It commemorates the moment when Saint Peter, fleeing persecution in Rome, encountered a vision of Christ carrying a cross. Peter asked Him, "Domine, quo vadis?" to which Christ replied, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again." This event inspired Peter to return to Rome, where he accepted his martyrdom. Sacred Footprints: Inside the church, visitors can see a marble slab containing an imprint said to represent Christ's footprints from the vision. The original relic is preserved in the Basilica of San Sebastiano nearby.
