Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls

The Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, commonly known as Saint Paul's Outside the Walls, is one of Rome's four major papal basilicas, along with the basilicas of Saint John in the Lateran, Saint Peter's, and Saint Mary Major, as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome.

The Neo-classicist addition of the 19th-century rebuilding is the covered portico (or narthex) that comes before the façade. The Holy Door, which is only opened during the Jubilees, is on the right. A second door, known as the Byzantine door, is located inside the basilica and dates to before the nineteenth century. It was commissioned in 1070 by Pantaleone, the Amalfi Consul in Constantinople, and is thought to have been cast there. Numerous events in the lives of Christ and the apostles are depicted. The new basilica has maintained the original structure with one nave and four side aisles. It is 131.66 metres long, 65 metres wide, and 29.70 metres high, the second largest in Rome.
