Christians took pilgrimages to Rome instead of Jerusalem primarily due to the city's significance as the center of the early Church and the location of the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul, two key figures in Christianity. After the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, Rome emerged as a spiritual capital. Pilgrimages to Rome also allowed Christians to engage with the papacy and participate in the rich liturgical life of the city, further solidifying its importance in the Christian faith. Additionally, political and social factors, such as safety and access, influenced the choice of Rome as a pilgrimage destination.
