Also known as the the Tullianum during ancient times, Mamertime Prison once imprisoned Saint Paul and Saint Peter among many others.
Abbazia di San Paolo Fuori Le Mura
One of Rome's majos basilicas, Saint Paul outside the Walls Basilica is the resting place of Saint Paul as his tomb is located here.
Abbazia Delle Tre Fontane
Tre Fontane Abbey also known as the Abbey of Saints Vincent and Anastasius stands on the site where St Paul was beheaded. At each of the three points his head bounced once beheaded a spring of water emerged, one hot, one tepid and one cold. Three fountains are featured in the church enclosed by black marble shrines, placed on different levels. Believed to be miraculous, water from these fountains used to be distributed for the faithful until the 1950 when the spring had to be closed due to pollution. The column where St. Paul was bound before being executed is also in this religious site. The Abbey will be included only in case Santa Maria via lata is closed
Chiesa di San Paolo alla Regola
Nestled in a quiet corner of Rome’s Jewish Quarter, this historic church is traditionally believed to be built over the site of St. Paul’s own rented house, where he lived under house arrest while continuing to preach and write his epistles.
