Scavi Tour

>

> Aug. 29 @ 1:45pm
>
> Grace and I had the opportunity to visit the Excavation site under
> St. Peter's Basilica. I reserved the tickets 2 months in advance
> since the tour is quite popular and they only take 10 people at a
> time. Unfortunately no pictures allowed.
> So I won't go into super detail but this excavation site shows Pagan
> Mosoleums which were mulled over to create the original Basilica
> which was commisioned to be built by Constantine. The alter is said
> to have been built directly over the site of St. Peter's tomb. The
> excavation found the remains of what are believed to be St.
> Peter's bones.
> Great tour, I'm happy we got to do this.
