Description
Discover the majesty and spiritual depth of San Paolo Fuori le Mura (St. Paul Outside the Walls), one of Rome’s four major Papal Basilicas. On this guided tour, you’ll explore the rich history of the church, originally built over the burial site of Saint Paul the Apostle and magnificently rebuilt after a devastating fire in the 19th century.
Inside the basilica, marvel at the vast and serene interior, the luminous golden mosaics, the imposing triumphal arch, and the long line of medallions depicting all the Popes from Saint Peter to the present day.
You'll also visit the cloister (optionally), a peaceful oasis of medieval art, and see the tomb of Saint Paul beneath the main altar, where pilgrims come to pray and reflect. Along the way, your guide will share the fascinating stories behind the basilica’s art, architecture, and spiritual significance — blending history, faith, and beauty in one unforgettable experience.
This guided tour is available in English, Italian and Ukrainian language.
