Outside the basilica, on the left side, an iron gate protects the Pasadizo of Panecillo, the "Passage of bread". You might wonder why it has this strange name: you should know that Archbishop Luigi Alfonso de Bourbon had the habit of giving out pieces of bread to vagrants through one of the windows of the nearby archbishop's palace, as long as they attended mass. You can see the scene in the plaque bearing the road's name that is situated above the wrought iron lantern protruding from the building's side wall.
