What are the four major churches in Rome?

Archbasilica of St. John Lateran bottom right (see Nov 9), St. Peter’s Basilica top left (see Nov 18), Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls top right (see Nov 18), and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore bottom left (see Aug 5) are the only four Major Basilicas, all other churches called “Basilica” are Minor Basilicas.

*The Archbasilica Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in the Lateran (ItalianArcibasilica del Santissimo Salvatore e dei Santi Giovanni Battista ed Evangelista in Laterano), also known as the Papal Archbasilica of Saint John [in] LateranSaint John Lateran, or the Lateran Basilica, is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Rome in the city of Rome, and serves as the seat of the bishop of Rome, the pope. The archbasilica lies outside of Vatican City proper, which is located approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the northwest. Nevertheless, as properties of the Holy See, the archbasilica and its adjoining edifices enjoy an extraterritorial status from Italy, pursuant to the terms of the Lateran Treaty of 1929.
