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.

Tradition holds that S. Paulus was established on the site of the purported burial place for the Christian martyr Paul of Tarsus. A monument known as cella memoriae was erected there, and Constantine I founded the basilica on the site. Pope Sylvester consecrated the basilica in 324 CE.
