Historia
Basilika lilianzishwa na kaisari Konstantino Mkuu juu ya mahali (cella memoriae) alipozikwa Mtume Paulo baada ya kukatwa kichwa nje ya ngome ya jiji la Roma.the earliest account of a visit to the memorials of the apostles is attributed to Gaius, the Presbyter, "who lived when Zephyrinus was bishop of Rome [AD 199–217]", as quoted by Eusebius reporting that "I can point out the tropaia of the Apostles [Peter and Paul]; for if you go to the Vatican or the Ostian Way, you will find the tropaia of those who founded this Church".

Baada ya mabadiliko mengi, lilijengwa upya katika karne ya 19 kwa sababu lilikuwa limeteketezwa na moto. Vipimo vyake ni mita 131.66 kwa 65 kwa 29.70, hivyo ni kanisa la pili kwa ukubwa mjini Roma.

Kumbukumbu ya kutabarukiwa kwake inafanyika kila mwaka tarehe 18 NovembaMartyrologium Romanum pamoja na ya kutabarukiwa Basilika la Mt. Petro ili kudokeza udugu wa Mitume hao wawili na umoja wa Kanisa lote https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/30100.
