Imposing and gorgeous Basilica, with a lovely garden, big gift shop (best I've seen in all sights in Rome) and bar, everything in immaculate condition and extremely shiny and looked after. I could feel the sacredness of the place, immerse in centuries of history and the many materials and works of art which are there. I truly enjoyed the visit, especially because there wasn't the usual horde of tourists, the church being outside the city center, and read the panels which explain this and that at my own pace, while taking a lot of pictures. The entry is free (strangely, there was a coin operated turnstile to enter the older part beneath, but the walls and structures are visible from up as well) and I would highly recommend going when in Rome.

This Basilica is far impressive than what I've seen in Italy. The mosaic and statues are simply breaktaking. The mere fact that Papa Francis and all the popes are not painted on but are in fact a mosaics. The Basilica is massive and the gardens in front is absolutely gorgeous. My family (24) was fortunate to have a private mass done for our family, as it was our last night in Italy. An appropriate way to end our Italian Family Adventure. The mass was held in the St. Benedict Chapel, in the nave of the Church. The staff and security made our visit welcoming and it was an honor to be recognized as their guests.

I was blessed to be able to visit the burial place of St Paul during Easter. It is about half an hour outside of Rome and not too far from the station. It is a solemn church looked after by the Benedictine Monks and the lamp besides the tomb had been lit for over 800 years (I think I got the number correct). A must visit for anyone on a pilgrimage to Rome, you would not regret coming here. There's a cafe on site if you need a break as well as bathroom is also available.

St. Paul “Outside the Walls” (not to be confused with the similarly themed Vans “Off the Wall”) is yet another instance in Rome where one cannot help but question their entire existence. This magnificent church houses row upon row of glorious Roman columns, stunning 12th century Byzantine mosaics, and last/most prominently the very tomb of the Apostle Paul himself. As an added bonus, a chain that allegedly bound the good Apostle in prison is also on full display. An unforgettable experience and truly well worth the journey beyond the comfortable confines of the Walls!

Main thing is FREE Entry ?. If you want to see more details in that place have to pay little bit. One of peace-full to spend some time to relax. I liked the place mainly for PIANO PLAYING?, it’s make my mind cool and relax. Candle ? lighting with some personal offerings. Clear details of rome ruler’s.
