The last stop on our pilgrimage to Rome is the Ponte Sant’ Angelo Bridge, the Angels Bridge. This is not just an ordinary bridge, but in times past it was the only bridge across the Tiber River by which pilgrims would reach their destination of St. Peter’s Basilica.
The pilgrims for the Young Adult Jubilee Pilgrimage got to spend some time at the Basilica of St. Peter as well as seeing some different sites around Rome.
The Pilgrims spend a second day in Assisi, they had time to explore the city on their own and then visited the Basilica of St. Francis before heading back to Rome.
