Vatican: Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls

Yesterday I got many postcards and many of them were from new countries.

Some of them were my first postcards from the Vatican. I sent all this postcards to me when I visited Rome last week.

One postcard shows the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. In 1823 the Basilica was nearly totally destroyed, but was rebuilt. Since 1980 the Basilica is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
