The church Domine Quo Vadis - Santa Maria in Palmis ; is a small church located on the site where; according to the apocryphal Acts of Peter; Saint Peter met Jesus while the former was fleeing persecution in Rome. According to the legend; here on the Via Appia Peter asked Jesus; 'Lord; where are you going?'(Latin: Domine; quo vadis?). Jesus answered; 'I am going to Rome to be crucified again'.There has been a sanctuary on the spot since the ninth century; but the current church is from 1637.
