Description

Angled from my spot, I wanted to be able to capture the top mural as well as the cross at the top.

Papal Basilica St. Stephen Outside the Walls was build outside Rome. The colors, the building, the grounds are totally unsurpassed by all other Catherdrals in tihe area in some instances. Each church has its own beauty, but this Catholic church is amazing. I loved the outside columns, the palm trees, the sheer beauty of all of the building...inside and out. Truly it was a Holy place.

It is one of Rome's four major papal basilicas, along with the basilicas of Saint John in the Lateran, Saint Peter's, and Saint Mary Major, as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome.

It was built on the burial site of Saint Paul. Since 1980, this impressive place of worship, famous destination of pilgrimage since 300 AD, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is a very important basilica for both Christianity and art history.
