I learned that St. Paul's Outside the Walls was a basilica built to be the most revered place of worship in the city of Rome. I learned that a wall had to be built to protect from pirates on the river close to the structure. I think this should be preserved for its elaborate architecture that has been added onto for years, as well as its religious purpose of a sacred place of worship.

Do you know if anything has ever been robbed or vandalized here?
