Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Where Pope Francis Has Chosen to Be Buried

File photo - Pope Francis (C) prays before the statue of Regina Maria Pacis (Mary Queen of Peace), during the Pope’s Rosary for peace in Ukraine and end to wars worldwide, on May 31, 2022 at the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica (St. Mary Major) in Rome, Italy. Pope Francis said his tomb is ‘already prepared’ in the chapel Paolina of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Unlike the majority of popes who have been interred beneath St Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis has reportedly made arrangements to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome's Esquilino district. The basilica, one of the four major papal basilicas, has historically been the resting place of seven pope. Photo by Eric Vandeville/ABACAPRESS.COM
