The Papal Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls, commonly known as St Paul's Outside the Walls, is one of Rome's four ancient major basilicas or papal basilicas. The nave's 80 columns and its stucco-decorated ceiling are from the 19th century. All that remains of the ancient basilica are the interior portion of the apse with the triumphal arch. The mosaics of the apse, work by Pietro Cavallini, were mostly lost in the 1823 fire; only a few traces were incorporated in the reconstruction. Detroit Publishing Company circa 1890-1900.
