Bar Basilica San Paolo In Frascati

Jasna of the 4 Major Basilicas in Rome 👍 Where was he executed? Paul as a citizen of the city of Rome 🙏

Despite numerous visits to Rome I had never visited the Basilica of San Poalo outside the walls and this time I passed by almost by chance. However, I was amazed by the majesty, beauty, brightness and richness of the interior. Although I didn't initially appreciate the external portico, which covers the splendid façade, I reevaluated everything once I entered through the gates and instead felt welcomed and "protected" by it. The visit is highly recommended.

Whenever you come back, you can study art

The sacred building, which is open to the admiration of pilgrims, was erected outside the walls in Rome, to preserve the mortal remains of the Apostle and Martyr Saint Paul, pass on his memory and celebrate his cult. In 313 with the Edict of Milan the persecutions against Christians ended, the emperor Constantine promoted the construction of the first Basilica (Constantinian basilica) dedicated to the Apostle of the Gentiles who, beheaded in 67 AD, had been buried in the burial area in near via Ostiense

Exceptional place. To do without a doubt.

Stunning basilica visited for the first time and I was pleasantly impressed.

A neoclassical, five-nave temple with strong references to antiquity with a large atrium with a statue of St. Paul and breathtaking mosaics and coffered vaults. It was built from the mid-4th to the mid-5th century; at the beginning of the 9th century, seriously damaged by an earthquake, several decades later ruined by the Muslim sacking of Rome; in 1823 it almost completely burned down. The basilica owes its current appearance to the reconstruction, most of which was completed in 1840 and the rest lasted until the beginning of the 20th century. The confession of the Tuscan architect Arnolfo di Cambia, together with the ciborium, escaped the fire - they date back to the 13th century.

How wonderful, a beautiful place of worship

Beautiful place, wonderful location, it was a pleasant experience.

They will not recommend it to you on any tourist tour, since it is one of those places that are not commercial so it will not be full of tourists. You will be able to fully enjoy this wonderful basilica. I recommend it 100%, it is one of the best places I saw in Rome.
