This church was a highlight of our trip. Very peaceful and more of a funtioning church than a tourist attraction. Perfect for contemplation and reflection. A must-see if you are on a pilgrimage.

I really enjoyed my visit to San Paul Basilica. There were hardly any people here compared to the other places we visited and this is the first thing you notice. It was so nice and peaceful. It was nice to see the services going on, a priest taking confessions and we sat on the pews and looked at it with... More

This attraction is not as well know as some of the other major attractions in Rome but there lies one of the best advantages. Not only is this place beautiful, showing an amazing example of a basilica but it gives a more quiet aspect to the busy Rome.

Amazing basilica. Rome is full of wonderful churches and basilicas but this one is beyond amazing, As a religious site which, it seems, did house the remains of St. Paul, it is important to Christians but it goes beyond that. It is such a huge space and so quiet compared with ther major sites in Rome. Difficult to describe the... More

This church is an architectural gem that is not highly visited due to its location away from the historic area of Rome. It is easy to get to by the train, 20 minutes from Termini Station. The remains of St Paul are in a crypt there. The beauty, both inside and out provide a peaceful and meaningful experience. The audio... More

we saw this from our walk to the metro from our hotel and it looked a must see. Of course it's not as big or as colourful as St Paul's but still huge with fantastic marble being used everywhere and unusually, the marble patterns are used for the window panes. Because it was less well attended, to me it seemed... More

Besides its religious value this place has an important art value when you can witness the work of amazing artists. I believe it's the next place to visit after the Vatican City. You will also have the chance to visit the shop where you will find homemade products to purchase. What is the most suitable is that you won't find... More

This church is not as busy as St. Peter's Basilica. Many beautiful mosaics. Off the beaten path so a bit more difficult to reach but worth the effort.

This one is much less ornate, overall, than the other 3, but stunning, nonetheless. The mosaic apse can be illuminated by the coinbox at front right of the apse. Stunning ceilings and a beautiful baldicchino. Particularly favorite was a holy water font on the far right, depicting a cherub dipping his fingers in the holy water while a fallen angel... More
