  • Summary

    The transformation of St John Lateran, which started under pope Nicolas IV (1288–92) was the largest building project in high medieval Rome. What motives forced this pope to demolish the apses and to erect new apses, transepts and façades of the Lateran-church and of St Maria Maggiore, whose walls were sanctified by legends? This chapter focuses on the transept of St John Lateran. The form and function of the little transept aisle of Constantinian origin, excavated in the south part, is not very clear and nothing is left of a possible transept of the 12th century. This chapter explores the issue of the northern entrance towards Campus Lateranensis and the city in 1200.
