Rome - St. Paul's Outside the Walls(Basilica San Paolo Fuori le Mura)

I have tried to find the location of this church to no avail. Your book lists the church to be on Via Ostiense 186. Do you have more detailed directions? Is this church within the Vatican?
Thanks, Mary

That church is in south Rome (not within the Vatican). I think it is south of what is shown on most Rome city maps. Going south and a little east from the colosseum, there is the Baths of Caracalla, St. Pauls Outside the Walls and the Catacombs sort of all in a line. Try looking on a "greater Rome" map.

Mary, I looked this up in my Eyewitness Rome guide. It is listed in the "Farther Afield" section, meaning that it's on the outskirts of the city (to the south, along the river, maybe about 3 miles or so from the Vatican). The closest Metro stop is San Paolo. The little map in the Eyewitness Guide is not very detailed. I tried to find it on my Rome map, but it was too far south to be listed. I hope you are able to find this!
