The second largest basilica in Rome, the San Paolo has been constructed at the site of the tomb of St. Paul.
A few elements were saved and reused after the 1823 fire, like the paschal candlestick, the mosaics in the apse, the Holy Door. The latter was made in 1070, and depicts stages of Jezus' life. It is only opened in Jubilee years. The candlestick is a 5-meter high piece of art depicting Christ's passion, death and resurrection. The naves are decorated with mosaics of all popes (8 places available). In contrast with the enormous proportions of the basilica, is the cloister, a quiet outside corner in the complex, where you find flowers, the sound of a small water foutain, as well as spiralling columns adorned with mosaics.
