Picture
The original basilica was erected by Costantine over the apostle’s tomb  and was embellished during succeeding centuries.

However, it burned down in 1823. Little remains of the original basilica.

​The present one is the second largest in rome after St.Peter’s . Noteworthy   are the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament  by Carlo Maderno, the apse mosaics and the celebrated altar canopy  by Arnolfo di Cambio, the cloister and the paschal candlestick, the original 11th century door, from Constantinople
