Basilica of St. Paul
Basilica of St. Paul
The Basilica of St. Paul, along with the one of St. Peter, has been visited for over two millennia by more pilgrims than any other place on earth. Every five years, bishops from all over the world make the Visita ad limina Apostolorum—the Visit to the Tombs of the apostles—to renew their commitment in the service of Christ and of his Church.
