The papal basilica of St. Paul is one of the four papal basilicas of Rome, the second largest after that of St. Peter in the Vatican.
It stands on the place that tradition indicates as that of the burial of the apostle Paul (about 3 km from the place - called "Tre Fontane" - where he suffered martyrdom and was beheaded); the saint’s tomb is located under the papal altar. For this reason, over the centuries, it has always been a destination for pilgrimages.
The place has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1980.
