Rome Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls | Churches in Rome | Walking Rome Tour

Early Christian Basilica | Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls

Early Christian Basilica | Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls

In Rome less than a mile away from the Aurelian walls raises one of the four Rome Papal Basilicas, the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls (San Paolo Fuori le Mura in Italian).

Around the year AD 65 the Apostle Paul was sentenced to death and because he was Roman, he was taken outside the walls of Rome to be executed and buried. A church was built over the spot where he was beheaded and although illegal many Christians came to pray at Saint Paul’s tomb. Once Christianity was legalized in AD 313 the Emperor Constantine built a small church over the saint’s grave. A short time later a larger basilica was built in place of Constantine’s church which was expanded again in the 8th century. Until the 16th century when a new Saint Peter’s was built to claim the title of the largest church in Christendom, Saint Paul Outside the Walls was the largest church in Rome.

The church as we see today is the result of a 19th century reconstruction. In 1823 a fire destroyed the Basilica and most of the artworks adorning it. From the original basilica remained only the magnificent 14th century mosaics by Pietro Cavallini, the richly decorated ciborium by Arnolfo di Cambio, and the cloister with its Cosmati pavement.


An imposing statue of Saint Paul greets us as we enter the vast Neoclassical quadriportico (an open space surrounded by porticoes on all sides). The interior has 5 naves adorned with 80 monolithic columns from the original Basilica and frescoes. The large triumphal arch at the end of the huge nave is fully decorated with Cavallini mosaics depicting Christ’s Benediction.

These decorations were originally found on the facade that was destroyed in the fire, but were later reinstalled after a full restoration in the 19th century. The Ciborium (canopy) by Arnolfo di Cambio that surmounts the main altar is among a masterpiece. Four columns of red porphyry, surmounted by capitals covered in gold leaf, support the meticulous decoration of the steepled roof.


The Chapel of the Most Holy Sacrament, where we can admire Carlo Maderno’s decorations, is magnificent. A visit to Saint Paul Outside the Walls is not complete without having enjoyed its beautiful cloister and strolled around its spiral columns adorned with tiny weaving of colored mosaics.


The light that filters through the palms of the neighboring garden, the silence enforced by heavy walls of the adjacent monastery, and the sound of water from the small fountain make this a place beyond time.

Unusual things to know about Saint Paul Outside the Walls:

The interior perimeter of the Basilica is decorated with medallions that depict the portraits of all Popes including Benedictus XVI. A pointed light illuminates the portrait of the current Pope.

Pope Benedictus XVI Portrait Illminated | Saint Paul Basilica

Legend has it that the world will end when the empty medallions run out. Only about 14 are left!

It always possible to recognize Saint Paul by his iconographic attributes: A sword and a book. Legend tells us that Saint Paul was a Roman soldier (hence the sword) who was converted to belief in the Holy Scriptures (the book) by an appearance of Christ on the Road to Damascus.

One of the entrance doors to the Basilica is the so-called Holy Door, made entirely of bronze. This door is opened only during Jubilee years, when it allows the Christians who pass through it to have all their sins pardoned.

Please Note: I did not include hotel restaurants in this list except for Über Alles Chef Heinz Beck. A list of the best hotel restaurants in Rome will be published soon and we look forward to receive your tips about your fave slow food restaurants in Rome!


Glass Hostaria

Glass Hostaria is located in the heart of Trastevere and is one the best dining bets in this cheerful but touristic area. The setting is modern but elegant, the service is friendly and the Italian dishes are very well prepared by Chef Bowerman. There’s a tasty set menu at € 55 and an excellent list of Italian wines.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 80 | L’ Espresso Rating 15 | Price €65

Ristorante Alberto Ciarla

Seafood lovers discovered Alberto Ciarla’s restaurant long time ago. Using only top quality ingredients Mr. Ciarla delivers tasty and balanced seafood dishes. Guests can order a la carte or choose from 3 different set menus fairly priced between €48 and €68. Good selection of French wines and nice outdoor tables in the very pleasant Piazza San Cosimato in Trastevere.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 78 | L’ Espresso Rating 14,5 | Price €65

Agata e Romeo

One of the very top restaurants in Rome with an excellent reputation that has spread well beyond Rome limes. Romeo handles the tables and the wine cellar while Agata runs the kitchen with her talent to reinvent Roman traditional dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming, the tables are set beautifully and the dining room is especially elegant. Don’t miss the millefeullie dessert and take advantage of the superb and well presented wine list, one of the best wine cellars in Rome.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 79 | L’ Espresso Rating 16 | Price €125

Antico Arco

Antico Arco is a very popular and romantic restaurant located on top of the Janiculum Hill just a short walk from the amazing terrace overlooking Rome. The food quality has been consistent over the years and guests shouldn’t miss the so good Risotto al Castelmagno cheese, the Antico Arco signature dish. Foodies will love the wide cheese selection as well as the extensive wine list with a lot of French labels.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 80 | L’ Espresso Rating 13,5 | Price €70

L’Arcangelo | 59 Via G.G. Belli | Prati

Located in the snobbish Prati quarter L’Arcangelo offers very good food at very reasonable price. Ingredients are top quality and are the base for a menu that will please almost everyone ranging from traditional roman fares to seafood via creative dishes and daily specials. Here you can taste one of the best Pasta alla Amatriciana in Rome or the traditional offal. Wine selection is expanding fast and the service is attentive but relaxed. The design of the restaurant is quite simple and reminds of a Trattoria from the 1950’s.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 80 | L’ Espresso Rating 14,5 | Price €60

La Rosetta

Since 1966 La Rosetta is arguably the best seafood restaurant in Rome located in a narrow cobblestoned alley just off the Pantheon. A dinner at La Rosetta with all the trimmings can cost you €200 or more per person so why not taking advantage of the delicious lunch set menu to taste the best raw fish Rome has to offer in a very romantic Rome back alley. Booking is highly reccomended. Riccioli family also runs the nearby Riccioli Caffè serving around the clock delicious sushi-style seafood and oysters. http://www.ricciolicafe.com/

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 81 | L’ Espresso Rating 15,5 | Price €160

Il Convivio Troiani

After a dinner at Il Convivio you’ll realize the difference between a good place and a great restaurant. Il Convivio is one of the top restaurants in Rome where to enjoy an unforgettable Italian meal just off the Navona Square. There so much to tell about this restaurant like the home-made bread and breadsticks, the coffee list, the mineral water list, the wine list of course, the exceptional service, and that’s without mentioning the food. A good way to taste the many signature dishes is to order the set menu at €98 or if you want to go local order the Amatriciana and the roast suckling pig.

In 2009 Il Convivio Troiani received the Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator for its outstanding wine list considered one of the best in the world!

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 83 | L’ Espresso Rating 16 | Price €120

Open Colonna

Antonello Colonna used to run one of the best restaurants in the roman countryside town of Labico then in 2007 he decided to move on and conquer foodies in Rome. In just one year he succeeded in his venture of bringing the best Roman traditional food and ingredients back to Rome! Chef Colonna’s creations are never dull and he manages to combine Lazio best products to deliver outstanding Roman dishes with a creative twist. A meal here is an experience to reccomended. Open Colonna Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni museum on Via Nazionale and opens from 11 AM offering tasty lunch set menus at €15, pre-dinner aperitifs at €10, and an excellent brunch on weekend at €28.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 86 | L’ Espresso Rating 17 | Price €120

Il Pagliaccio

In just five years il Pagliaccio has made a name for itself as one of Rome’s top restaurants and credit must go to Anthony Genovese’ s cooking skills and creative dishes. The restaurant is very pleasant just a short walk from Campo dè Fiori and the service spotless. Very hard to point out a particular dish as menus change frequently however seafood is really tasty, try the lobster salad, as well as the sweets like the chocolate on rhubarb sauce. If you plan to have dinner at Il Pagliaccio make sure you book a table well in advance and allow at least 3 hours for your meal.

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 88 | L’ Espresso Rating 16,5 | Price €110

La Pergola

La Pergola is described as the best hotel restaurant in Italy but in my humble opinion is close to be the best restaurant in Italy thanks to Chef Heinz Beck. Location is breathtaking, service is outstanding, wine list is made of two tick books, and the food is just from another world. La Pergola is the epitome of fine dining and the perfect place for your splurge honeymoon meal in Rome or for any other special event in Rome where money is not an issue. Book well in advance, wear your smart jacket or evening gowns, take the lift to the top floor of the Rome Cavalieri and be prepared for a memorable Rome dining experience!

Gambero Rosso 2010 Rating 93 | L’ Espresso Rating 19 | Price $$$$$

Jewish Rome Tour | Best Jewish Food in Rome | Walking Rome Tour

Walking Rome Tour | When in Rome Visit the Jewish Quarter

Walking Rome Tour | When in Rome Visit the Jewish Quarter

The Rome historic Jewish Quarter houses one of the oldest Jewish communities in Europe and the longest, uninterrupted, existing Jewish community in the world.


Although Rome is home to the Pope Jews have been in Rome longer than Christians, as the first Jewish community of Rome goes back to the 2nd century BC. The Jewish Ghetto in Rome is located in the rione Sant’Angelo, in the area surrounded by today’s Via del Portico d’ Ottavia, an ancient Rome structure built by emperor Augustus in the name of his sister Octavia and close to the enchanting Tiber island and the ancient Theater of Marcellus. Since the medieval era the Porticus was used as a fish market which lasted up to the end of 19th century and this role is remembered by the name of the 8th century annexed church: Sant’Angelo in Pescheria or St. Angelus in the Fish Market. To learn more you can visit Nancy Aiello Tours’ Jewish Rome Tour.


Rome’s Jewish Ghetto was the last remaining ghetto in Western Europe and it is now one of the most charming and eclectic neighborhoods in Rome with typical restaurants serving up some of the best traditional Roman cuisine in Rome. Only in the Rome Jewish quarter you are able to find and taste the traditional Roman Jewish cuisine including Carciofi alla Giudia, Jewish fried artichokes, fresh seafood and kosher pizza.


Beside its delicious Kosher food the the tour of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome offers one of the most amazing walks through the maze of old and famous ruins of ancient Rome, medieval churches, renaissance and baroque squares and palaces, all blended within walking distance. During your Jewish Ghetto walk visit the Great Synagogue and Jewish Museums of Rome overlooking the Ghetto, built in a very eclectic style between 1901 and 1904. The dome of the Synagogue is the only squared dome in the Eternal City of Rome and makes the building easily identifiable even from a distance. When in Rome if you wish to visit the Great Synagogue and the Jewish Museum avoid Saturdays when both are closed.

The cuisine based on organic products is prepared under the supervision of the Rabbinical Office of Rome.

This restaurant was established in 1860 and it is probably one of the best and most elegant jewish restaurants around the Rome’s Ghetto.

During summer time reserve a table in the lovely outdoor garden.


Sora Margherita | Euro 20 No Credit Card | Piazza delle Cinque Scole 30 |

This elegant Kosher restaurant located in the heart of the Jewish quarter serves not only traditional Roman Jewish dishes but also middle east delicacies like cous cous, falafel and hummus.

Travel to Rome | A Day at the Vatican | Vatican Tips

By ItalyTravelista Italy, Rome Museums, Rome Travel Tips, Travel Italy, Vatican, Vatican Museums 2 Comments »

A Day at the Vatican | Tour Saint Peter 's Square

A Day at the Vatican | Tour Saint Peter 's Square

A tour of Rome is not complete without a day at the Vatican to visit the Holy See, explore St. Peter’s Basilica the world largest Christian church and tour the Vatican Museums the most impressive collection of fine art.


The Vatican City is one of most fascinating areas in Rome with an appeal that is quite unique. In the very small Vatican State visitors and devoted Catholics will appreciate an impressive collection of artistic and cultural treasures starting from St. Peter’s Square, one of the greatest architectural masterpieces of all time, one of the many open-air museums in Rome!

Designed by Bernini and built between 1656 and 1667, Saint Peter’s Square features two gigantic semicircles each comprising four rows of Doric columns totaling 284 columns adorned by 140 statues of Saints. In the middle of St. Peter’s Square is the famous Egyptian obelisk brought to Rome to grace Nero’s circus and erected in its current location by Pope Sixtus V in 1586. There are also two beautiful 17th century fountains adorning each side of the Holy Square. Between the obelisk and each fountain you’ll see a circular stone that marks the focal points of an ellipse and standing on one of these points, it appears to comprise a single row of columns. The backdrop to all this is St. Peter’s Basilica one of the most visited Rome’s landmarks.

The construction of the Basilica of Saint Peter began under Pope Julius II in 1506 and was completed in 1612. The imposing Church was built on top of a former 4th century basilica erected by the Emperor Constantine on the spot where the legend says the apostle Peter was crucified and buried. The dome was designed by Michelangelo and the church, the largest church in the world, covers an area of 23,000 m² (5.7 acres).


St. Peter’s Basilica is a magnet for art lovers featuring Bernini’s majestic canopy in the nave, Maderno’s magnificent Chapel of the Confession, the Pieta by Michelangelo, the Clementine Chapel by della Porta and the stunning tomb of Clement XIII by Canova, just to name a few of the famous masterpieces on display.


But a Vatican tour would not be complete without a tour of the Vatican Museums and the breathtaking Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo.

Visitors will be impressed by the Egyptian and the Etruscan Museums, the Papal Apartments painted by Raphael and the Pinacoteca gallery that houses masterpieces by Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio and more Raphael. A visit to Saint Angel’s Castle, built by Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD, is a great way to round off a tour of the Vatican City.

Vatican Travel Tips:

  • Vatican Museums Tickets can be purchased online at the Official Vatican Website
  • Vatican Dress Code For both ladies and men, knees and shoulders must be covered. No shorts of any kind are allowed
  • Wear comfy shoes. Sensible shoes are essential if you are to attempt the ascent of the Dome, as the 320 marble stairs after you emerge from the lift are very slippery
  • Days closed The Vatican Museums are closed on Sundays, except the last Sunday of the month when entrance is free of charge. Expect large crowds then. St. Peter’s Basilica is also closed every Wednesday morning when the Papal Audience is scheduled
  • Papal Audience Papal Audience is held every Wednesday and the free of charge Papal Audience Tickets should be booked well in advance
  • Dear Visitor Please Note: Don’t set your expectations to high! It’s a public ceremony and you won’t be able to talk to His Holiness, take pictures of your kids with the Pope or handshake with the Holy Father
