About the site
One of Rome's four major papal basilicae, S. Paulus was founded by Constantine I in the early fourth century A.D. and expanded by Valentinian I in the 370s. The basilica, with many renovations, repairs, and improvements, stood until the 19th century, when it was destroyed in a fire. The reconstructed basilica only generally resembles the original structure.
