Santuario di San Paolo alla Rotonda, Romanesque Revival shrine in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The sanctuary presents three bronze portals on its facade, with the central one depicting the life of Saint Paul through detailed relief work.
Built in 1932, the church expanded over time to include the Piccolo Museo San Paolo, following Saint Paul's documented visit to Reggio Calabria.
The facade displays nine mosaic niches featuring historical figures including Virgil, Cicero, and Seneca, representing a connection between classical and Christian traditions.
The sanctuary operates daily masses at 18:00 on weekdays, while Sunday services are held at 8:00, 10:00, and 18:00.
The interior contains 500 square meters of mosaics, with columns in the central nave depicting episodes from Christ's life and 36 distinct patriarch figures.
