Take a tour of San Giovanni in Laterano in Italy – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The grandest and most lavish church in Rome is the Basilica of San Giovanni.
It is the oldest of Rome's major basilicas and is the primary church of Catholicism.
The church is ancient, having been first established as a church in 324 A.D.
The basilica grew out of the Lateran Palace, which was a Roman fort and barracks.
This huge, beautiful house of worship has been through many disasters, destructions and subsequent reconstructions.
Today it stands strong and in fine condition, ready for visitors.
