San Paolo alle Tre Fontane
San Paolo alle Tre Fontane, Renaissance church in Ardeatino district, Rome, Italy.
The church features three monumental covers marking the fountains where Saint Paul's head reportedly touched the ground during his martyrdom.
Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini commissioned architect Giacomo della Porta to rebuild the church structure in 1599 on the site of an earlier building.
The interior contains polychrome marble work, porphyry columns, and a reproduction of Guido Reni's Crucifixion painting, with the original now in Vatican.
The church building stands at Via delle Acque Salvie 1 in Rome, within the grounds of Tre Fontane Abbey complex.
Three separate water springs emerged at this location, with temperatures varying from hot to lukewarm to cold, until their closure in 1950.
