Chiesa di Santa Maria in Palmis, better known as Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis? is a small church southeast of Rome near St. Sebastian Gate (Porta San Sebastiano), where the Via Ardeatina branches off the Appian way.

It is at this spot that Saint Peter met Jesus while the former was fleeing persecution in Rome. According to Catholic Tradition, Peter asked Jesus, Domine, quo vadis? (Lord, where art Thou going?) Jesus answered Eo Romam iterum crucifigi (I am going to Rome to be crucified anew).
