About this activity

Cut the St. Peter's Basilica line with your guide to reach the Mosaic Studio.

Learn how the basilica does not feature paintings on its walls, but that they are spectacular mosaics. It is for this reason that a visit to the Mosaic Studio is an interesting addition to any tour of this famous church. The studio is responsible for the renovation and upkeep of all mosaics in Vatican property.

This exclusive tour is unique and is designed for true connoisseurs of the mosaic art. The visit will be conducted by an expert from the Mosaics School.
