Lonely Planet review

This small church marks where St Peter, while fleeing Rome, met a vision of Jesus going the other way. He asked: 'Domine, quo vadis?' ('Lord, where are you going?'). Jesus replied that he was going to Rome to be crucified for a second time. Inspired, Peter returned to the city to be arrested and executed. In the centre of the aisle are copies of two holy footprints supposed to belong to Christ. The originals are in the Basilica di San Sebastiano.
