The Basilica of Saint Paul

After the Catacombs we then stopped at The Basilica of Saint Paul, dedicated to the Apostle Paul.  It was built outside the wall protecting Rome, over the burial place of Paul. It is a beautiful church both inside and out and very worth seeing.  Inside, encased in a glass display, are the chains purported to have bound Paul during his imprisonment in Rome.  The history and more detail about this basilica is available here.  Below are a few select photos.  The full album link is below.
