Bar Basilica San Paolo In Frascati

Beautiful Basilica and even managed to meet Pope Leo

The most beautiful basilica in Rome!

I went there without any expectations, but I loved it even more than I expected. Since this year is Jubilee, I went through the Holy Door and even though it's outside Rome, it's a must-see!

It's a must-see in Rome. You can see one of St. Paul's chains. The cloister is beautiful, with a collection of very important relics; admission is separate, at 3 euros. The mosaics on the main façade are also very important, as are those inside. It's very peaceful and pleasant to spend time in prayer and tranquility. There's a metro station nearby. There's a picnic area outside. There's also a cafeteria, restrooms, and a well-equipped souvenir shop.

Papal basilica where you can pass through the Jubilee Door. The basilica's walls feature portraits of all the popes. The coffered ceiling is a work of art. It may be a little sparse compared to St. Peter's Basilica, but it's worth a visit.

One of the greatest churches in Rome is the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. It is one of the four papal basilicas of the Holy See, a place closely connected with the Apostle Paul himself. Here you can see the chains that once bound the Apostle and truly touch history. The basilica impresses with its beauty: magnificent mosaics, majestic architecture, and a solemn atmosphere. There is also a separate entrance to the museum where you can view the sacred relics of this basilica. This is truly a unique place that everyone should visit. Highly recommended!

What an amazing Church! Ask someone to tell you the story of the icons of the Popes!

What can you say that isn't already known? Well, I'll just say that it's truly magnificent! The archpriest, who is a cardinal, American J.M. Harvey, is also very talented and approachable, considering it's a papal basilica (until recently, it was called patriarchal), and he celebrated 50 years of priestly ordination last June 29th. A must-see!

The Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls is one of Rome's four papal basilicas and is, in itself, a stunning place full of history, art, and spirituality. Our visit fell during the Holy Year, which made the atmosphere even more special. Upon entering, you sense the grandeur and tranquility of this place, which is both monumental and inviting. On the day we were there, an extraordinary event was also taking place: a solemn procession of the Sacro Militare Ordine Costantiniano di San Giorgio. Well over 1,000 members of the order had gathered, dressed in magnificent robes and bearing a reverent dignity. As they moved through the cloister, a scene of unique beauty and solemnity emerged. The moment the procession slowly made its way through the centuries-old walls was breathtaking—a blend of tradition, spirituality, and visible community. It was impossible to escape the effect: pure goosebumps. This combination of architecture, history, and such a special event made our visit an unforgettable experience. St. Paul Outside the Walls revealed itself not only as an impressive building, but also as a vibrant place of faith and encounter. Everyone visiting Rome should take the time to experience this basilica—and, with a little luck, witness a celebration that will linger in their hearts for a long time.

Impressive, far from the center of Rome but very beautiful. Highly recommended. It's an early Christian church that houses one of the four Gates of Forgiveness in Rome.
