St.+Paul+Outside+the+Wall

History : It is a catholic basilica built around the year 370 AD, by Constantine I. In the year 386 Theodosius made a much bigger and more beutiful basilica, with nave aisles and transept but the work was not done until Leo I. On the year 590 Gregory the Great modified it when he placed St.Paul´s tomb under the altar. On the 9th century it was damaged by the Saracen invasions and the Pope was in charge of fortifying the basilica. In 937 Saint Odo placed Baduino of Monte Cassino in charge. The cloister was erected in 1220-1241. On July 1823 a fire, started through the negligence of a workman who was repairing the lead of the roof, resulted in the almost total destruction of the basilica which, alone of all the churches of Rome, had preserved its primitive character for 1435 years. It was re-opened in 1840, and reconsecrated in 1855 with the presence of Pope Pius and fifty cardinals.On 23 April 1891 an explosion at Porta Portese destroyed the stained glasses.On 31 May 2005 Pope Benedict ordered the Basilica to come under the control of an Archipriest.
