St. John Lateran is the oldest Basilica of the western world built in 314 by Costantino. Since then, the Cathedral suffered a lot of damages due to fires, hearthquakes and lootings.
Everytime it was rebuilt trying to preserve its original glory. The main facade we admire today was built in 1736 by Alessandro Galilei. http://www.romanlife-romeitaly.com
