St. Pauls Basilica

Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura â€” known in English as the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls or St Paul-without-the-Walls â€” is one of four churches considered to be the great ancient basilicas of Rome. The Roman Catholic Church counts among them St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Peter's. Cardinal Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, named in 2005, is the current archpriest of this basilica. The basilica was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine I over what was believed to be the burial place of Saint Paul, where it was said that, after the Apostle's execution, his followers erected a memorial, called a cella memoriae, over his grave.

St Peter & the facade of the basilica

The statues on the balustrade represent Christ the Redeemer (19 feet high), St. John the Baptist and 11 Apostles. St. Mathias is included because he is associated with the other Eleven in bearing witness to Christ's Resurrection. Gregory XVI (1831-1846) had commissioned Giuseppe De Fabris to sculpt The Statue of St Peter. The eight gigantic columns of the facade are almost 10ft wide and 90 feet high.
