Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Santa Maria in Via Lata, Via del Corso, 306, 00186 Roma RM, Italy

Rome is the city where the Apostle Paul spent the last years of his life. A fervent preacher of the Gospel, he was arrested in 59 AD in Jerusalem under the charge of raising turmoil: as a roman citizen he appealed to the Supreme Court in Rome where he was judged not guilty in 62 AD. In those years he lived under custody and worked as a tent-maker in a building now turned into the church of S. Maria in via Lata.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Mamertine Prison, Clivo Argentario, 1, 00186 Roma RM, Italy

However between 64 and 67 AD the repression of the Christians increased progressively and consequently Paul was arrested: according to the tradition he was imprisoned in the Mamertine Prison together with Saint Peter, the two being executed on the same day of 64 AD.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Abbazia delle Tre Fontane, Via di Acque Salvie 1, 00142 Rome Italy

More likely Paul died in 67 AD by beheading in the cursed site of Aquae Salviae, where the fortified Abbey of the Three Fountains covers and protects the sacred place.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Basilica Papale San Paolo Fuori le Mura, Piazzale di San Paolo 1, 00146 Rome Italy

His body was then buried closeby in the vast cemetery along the Ostiense Way in a marble sarcophagus later covered by a memorial church dedicated to him in 324 AD by order of the emperor Constantine. The present, magnificent basilica of S. Paul is a much bigger and impostive version commissioned by the Emperor Honorius and completed in 395 AD.
