Basilica of San Paolo alla Regola
32 Piazza di S. Paolo alla Regola Roma
Built over One of the Houses of St. Paul
According to local tradition, this is one of two houses where St. Paul possibly lived under house arrest during his frist trip to Rome. One can enter the granary, which has been converted into a chapel, where it is believed that St. Paul met with early Christians, shared the Word of God, and wrote letters to Christian communities throughout the Meditteranean. These included letters to the Phillipians, Colossians, Ephesians, and Philemon.
The current church was founded by Pope Sylvester I in the 4th century. It is located near the Jewish Ghetto and Campo di Fiori.
