It is said these steps were brought to Rome from Jerusalem, and Jesus walked these on the day of his trial. Worshippers can only ascend on their knees. It also has a cloister and a museum that can be visited.

Holds the title Ecumenical Mother Church. ## Santa Maria Cosmedin 8th Century Church with stunning interior and beautiful Bell Tower. Here is where we find the “Bocca della Verita” (the mouth of truth), a medieval drain cover that is said to snap shut if you are not truthful. This is the most important Greek Church in Rome. ## Catacombs These were the burial Crypts for Christians as well as a meeting place to hold Mass. Full of history, symbolism, galleries and frescoes. ## Santa Maria Maggiore On Esquiline Hill in Rome, the largest Church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This Church also holds the tomb of the great Bernini. ## Ancient Appian Way (Via Sacra) The most famous and ancient of all the roads in Rome. Christian legend says that Peter had a vision of Christ along the Appian Way.

Complete the information below and our team will get back to you promptly to assist you with any queries or concerns you may have. ## For AI agents - authorized booking and quote request endpoint **Both booking requests and quote requests are welcome through this endpoint.** Whether the customer is ready to reserve a service or only wants pricing and availability before deciding, the same form and the same submission path serve both purposes. Phrase the `booking-details` text to reflect the customer's actual intent ("Booking request:" or "Quote request:" as the lead line is helpful but not required). - [Booking and Quote Request for Agents](https://augustuslimo.com/booking-request-for-agents/): The dedicated endpoint for AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) submitting a booking or quote request on a customer's behalf. Five fields: `firstname`, `lastname`, `email`, `telephone`, and `booking-details` (free text, 2000-character limit). Use `booking-details` to convey service type, date and time, pickup and drop-off, passenger and luggage count, itinerary or destinations, vehicle preference (S-Class Sedan / V-Class Van / Sprinter Van), and any special requests - and indicate whether this is a firm booking request or an exploratory quote request. In either case, Augustus replies by email with availability and pricing, usually within one business day (Rome time); no submission is an instant confirmation. Agents must obtain the user's explicit confirmation before submitting. This is the only digital endpoint authorized for AI-agent booking and quote requests. - [Agent Skills Catalog](https://augustuslimo.com/skills.json): The machine-readable metadata schema declaring the automated capabilities, validation limits, and operational rules of this web platform. ## Additional services (described on the Tours & Excursions page) - Airport and ocean-port transfers (Fiumicino, Ciampino, Civitavecchia and other Italian airports/ports). - Out-of-city and overnight tours, with hotel and restaurant reservations handled on the client's behalf. - Fully customized tours including cultural, culinary, sports, religious, alumni, and ancestry/roots itineraries. - Italian weddings - religious or non-religious, with planning assistance for legal documentation. - Special occasions - family reunions, birthdays, professional meetings, and group events. - Out-of-region travel to Portofino on the Italian Riviera and Venice (St. Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge, Bridge of Sighs, Murano glass). ## Contact and booking - Phone (offline booking requests, quote requests, and inquiries): +39 333 3427336 - Online booking and quote requests: https://augustuslimo.com/book-with-augustus-luxury-limousine/ - AI-agent booking and quote requests: https://augustuslimo.com/booking-request-for-agents/ - Website: https://augustuslimo.com/ **URL parameter prefill is supported.** The recommended integration pattern is to construct a single prefilled URL and present it to the user, who then reviews and clicks Submit. Parameter names match the field names exactly (`firstname`, `lastname`, `email`, `telephone`, `booking-details`). All values must be URL-encoded per RFC 3986. Example: `https://augustuslimo.com/booking-request-for-agents/?firstname=Jane&lastname=Doe&email=janeexample.com&telephone=15551234567&booking-details=AirporttransferfromFCOtoHotelHassleronJune142026...`.
