城墙外的圣保罗教堂

本来也没有预期要去这个景点。需要搭地铁一段路，出地铁五分钟左右就走到了。教堂内部的陈设跟壁画马赛克，挺壮观的。外面很朴实，看不出是一个内装华丽的大教堂。教堂内部的陈设，我觉得并不输给圣保罗大教堂，稍微朴实一点。后方的整面的马赛克，很壮观。我去的时候，刚刚好是周末，有弥撒，有唱圣诗。感觉真的很安详，而且不排斥拍照，圣保罗里面的弥撒不可以照相，但是请不要开闪光灯。建议在有礼拜弥撒的时候去。出教堂的后院，有一个很精致安静的小花园，可以带一点点食物，义大利的火腿跟起司，坐在旁边野餐一下，很舒服。

这座教堂规模感觉还是蛮大的，虽然不算是世界前列的那种大规模，但是整体给人感觉很壮观。外墙上使用的一些金色的元素觉得很华丽。

非常壮观！感觉城墙还有石柱的雕刻都非常具有艺术性，而且整个给人感觉很密集，有压倒性的金碧辉煌，细节上更是栩栩如生，令人震撼。

教堂内部的雕塑！名家经典！这就决定了它的高大上，比起其他亮瞎眼睛的金壁辉煌教堂，no,1就是no.1。教堂建筑的气派与美感，无需多言！

什么雄伟、庄严、神性等等词汇完全是苍白无力的了，可以留意每一个细节，每一组雕塑都是大师的作品，特别是米开朗基罗和贝尼尼两大梵蒂冈顶级包工头，他们的作品可以用“感动”来形容。不要走太快了，进入圣彼得大教堂大门右边有发声导览，有中文版，慢慢听听讲解，很有意思

建筑精巧,气势宏伟,流金溢彩,美仑美幻! 如果你想去欧洲的话,一定不可错过的一个地方!绝对令你印象深刻,感到震撼! 美妙的人生体验!

这是我们来罗马旅游的其中一站,但成了我最喜欢的经典。它庄严的外表、建筑本身和修道院,都让我心生敬畏。如果是基督教徒,在这里肯定会觉得非常神圣感动,因为这里是圣保禄的墓地,强烈推荐!

我非常喜欢这次城外圣保禄大殿之旅。跟我们去过的其他地方相比,你首先注意到的是那儿几乎没什么人,非常的美丽而宁静。大殿里有神父听你忏悔,我们坐在教堂长椅上带着崇敬欣赏着眼前的一切。大殿的屋顶设计独特精美,整个建筑宏伟壮观。我所欣赏的正是圣保禄大殿的那份平静与祥和。个人认为来这里旅游非常有意义,而且你在这不会看到成群结对的旅行团!

7月份的时候来这里参观来着,不像其他地方那么拥挤。跟其他季节相比,估计这会儿不是旺季吧。雪花石窗户好漂亮啊,我可以在这里玩上一天都不觉得烦!

Must to go when you visit Rome!after colloseum and vatikan city its the most beautiful monument in the city!

We got off the train back from Antica Ostia at this Church. We were just stunned when we entered this massive church. Architecturally this church mirrors the design of a late Roman Bascilica. If you want to experience something of what the Bascillicas of Ostia or the Roman Forum may have been like visit here! We then walked to the Montemartini Museum and on to Pyramid and Porta san Paolo.

Very exciting architecture, and easy to get to. The ceilings are so beautiful. the atmosphere was exciting!

We caught the low cost Metro here without problems and as we walked to St Paul's beyond the Gates we observed the "non city" life. I was a bit stunned that no one stood up for the nuns travelling on the Metro.Cheap souvenirs, even cheap shoes are sold along the sidewalk in the "burbs". When we entered the impressive St Paul's, I (a Catholic) was astounded that there was no charge as we Catholics "always charge".It is a huge place that seems to go for miles. There are separate little chapels - some closed to the public - but so much to see. Make sure you look up and see the portraits of all of the Popes - so many throughout the ages. It is a beautiful, spiritual church. One where you can feel serenity and peace (as I did in Fatima) that was somehow lacking in the hustle and bustle of the Vatican. Just in the last few years, next to the huge St Paul's, they've discovered the remains of a monastery built around 600 and they are starting to excavate..........even more wonderful things. There is a good gift shop on the way out.Tip: Don't decide to go to McDonald's for free wifi before heading home. We did this but a very kind employee told me (in Italian that I did not understand, so a Manager came over to reiterate in English) that it was not safe to use my iPhone in the store as gypsies frequented the place and stole mobile phones and tables. This was good of them. So we finished and burger and coffee and headed back to Rome on the Metro.

The apse, the ceilings, the sheer beauty of this basilica is second to none. We had the chance to attend Mass here standing just a few meters from the tomb of the Apostle St. Paul, there are no words to describe this peaceful spiritual experience.

I had not been here in many years, but recently found the church was even more magnificent than I remembered. It is absolutely enormous and awe-inspiring, but simpler than many of the other Roman area churches, which lends it a harmonious and peaceful feeling. Your attention goes to the spectacular apse mosaic of Christ and four saints. The ceiling is also beautiful. The courtyard is lovely and you see the sparkling exterior mosaic. This is a "must see" when visiting Rome, along with the three other major basilicas (St. Peter's, St. John Lateran, and St. Mary Major), and is easily reached by metro.
