About the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls
Rome counts St. Paul Outside the Walls among its four major papal basilicas, together with St. Mary Major, St. Peter's and St. John in the Lateran, and it also numbers the church among the city's Seven Pilgrim Churches. A Benedictine abbey adjoins it, and the church stands outside the Aurelian Walls at the place where tradition says Saint Paul was buried. The land is Italian, though the Holy See holds the basilica and counts it as part of the Vatican's extraterritoriality.
Among Rome's oldest church sites, it began with a basilica that Constantine the Great founded over Paul's burial place; Pope Sylvester consecrated it in 324. In 386 Theodosius I began a far bigger church, with a nave and four aisles. A fire on July 15, 1823 destroyed nearly all of the building. Pasquale Belli took on the reconstruction, and Luigi Poletti followed him in 1833; the church was reconsecrated in 1854.
It is 131.66 meters (432.0 ft) long, 65 meters (213 ft) wide and 29.70 meters (97.4 ft) high, and it keeps the old plan of a nave with four side aisles. It is the second largest church in Rome. Its nave carries 80 columns, and the ceiling of wood and stucco belongs to the 19th century; a Neo-classicist portico of the same period stands before the façade. From the ancient church, only the apse interior and its triumphal arch remain.
