Basilica Sancti Pauli extra Moenia

Here are some pictures from St. Paul's, where we had Mass on Saturday evening. I didn't know it at the time, but this was my first foray onto Vatican territory! The statue of St. Paul out front, with the main facade in the background:

 

Here's the side chapel where we had Mass, dedicated to St. Benedict. The columns on either side are said to date to the 5th century BC. As a fun side note, recent renovation of this chapel was paid for by Daimler-Chrysler.




And here's an awesome image on one of the doors, showing Paul's martyrdom:

Mmmmmm. Juicy.
