The Church was built in the 5th century on the site where it is believed St. Paul was martyred. It was rebuilt by Giacomo della Porta in 1599. Within are the legendary three fountains, said to have sprung forth where the head of the Saint bounced after his decapitation. Noteworthy is the Roman mosaics in the pavement , brought from Ostia Antica, and representing the four seasons. The column to which the Saint is said to have been bound is between the first and second altars.
The church is on the ground of the Abbazia delle Tre Fontane, a Trappist abbey whose monks produce a noted eucalyptus liqueur and other products such as chocolates, honey and marmalade. The abbey store is open from 9:30am to 1:00pm and from 4:00 to 7:00pm.
Also on the grounds of the monastery are two other churches consecrating the martyrdom: Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio, built in the 7th century and rebuilt in the 13th; Santa Maria Scala Coeli, built by Della Porta in 1583.
