Church of St. Paul Regola

Local name: Chiesa di San Paolo alla Regola

The church of San Paolo alla Regola in Rome is an example of baroque architecture. Its interior is decorated with paintings by outstanding Italian painters - Biagio Puccini, Giacinto Calandrucci, Giacomo Diola and Mariano Rossi.

In the main altar there are three paintings by Luigi Garzi depicting scenes from the life of Saint. Paweł - "The conversion of Saint. Paweł "," Teaching of Saint. Paul in Rome "," Martyrdom of St. Paul. "

According to legend, it is in the place where today's church stands, Saint. Paul preached his first sermons and even lived here when he came to Rome. The first temple was founded in early Christian times.

In the 17th century, the church passed into the hands of the tertiary order. The renovation work during this period was managed by Giovanni Battista Borgonzoni. The temple took its final shape in the 1820s, thanks to Giacomo Ciolla and Giuseppe Sardi.
