In addition to the patriarchal basilicas, processions also took in the Churches of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, San Sebastiano, and San Lorenzo fuori le mura, all of which house precious Christian relics. The visit of the seven churches never did become a compulsory requirement for obtaining a Holy Year plenary indulgence. Nevertheless, the pilgrimage around the seven churches was encouraged as an enhancement of the devotional experience for Jubilee pilgrims, an activity especially championed by a number of Popes.

The Borrominian building for the oratory complex has been described by Borromini and by his friend and patron Virgilio Spada between 1646 and 1647, in a work named Piena relatione della fabbrica. The two, though, couldn’t print it and only in 1725 Roman publisher Sebastiano Giannini published it with the title of Opus architectonicum equitis Francisci Boromini.
