The second largest basilica in Rome, the San Paolo has been constructed at the site of the tomb of St. Paul.
I entered the basilica from the side where the bell tower stands, and an immediate sensation of space overwhelmed me. The ceiling high above, the ornate apse on my right, I did feel small when advancing through the religious place. When I reached the apse, the nave opened on my left and increased my sensation of space. The last reconstruction restored the basilica as it had been in the 4th century, and the basilica gives you an idea of how an ancient Roman basilica must have been like.
