Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls is absolutely worth visiting.
First, there are barely any people here. Really almost no crowds. Second, it does not have all the barriers, chairs, and crowd control setup you see in many other famous churches in Rome, so you can actually enjoy the space quietly.
What also makes this basilica special is that, unlike many famous churches in Rome, its origins go back to the 5th century. Even though it was destroyed in 1823, it was rebuilt almost exactly the same way. You can really feel the process of how the Romans transformed their architectural style into a Christian church.
It is a bit far from the main tourist area, maybe around ten something minutes by taxi, but definitely very worth it.

It's even more impressive in person – unfortunately, the Vatican near St. Paul's Basilica is a piece of cake. For art connoisseurs, a visit here is a must. There are practically no crowds, so you can enjoy the monument in peace. Easy access by metro. I highly recommend visiting this place.

This is a unique basilica. Perhaps among the most beautiful. The series of external columns almost shrouds it in an aura of mystery. The façade is very beautiful.
Inside is the spot where the body of Saint Paul was found.
The ciborium is by Arnolfo di Cambio.
We find the medallions of all the Popes.

The building of Emperor Constantine the Great is a monument of great spiritual importance. Visitors are deeply impressed by the atmosphere of recollection and the beauty of the place. It is very impressive from the moment you enter. Also here is the tomb of the Holy Apostle Paul, one of the most important soldiers of Christ.
