And therein lies the problem: St. Paul's is only 150 years old, and it has neither the wear and tear of antiquity nor the Baroque overlays that art and architecture critics in Rome love so well.
Paul's church and its surroundings had to be heavily walled and fortified, just as St. Peter's was a few year earlier: both churches were "extra muros" (outside the city walls of Aurelian) and on the banks of the Tiber where undefended sites were easy prey for water-born raids.
In a few centuries, St. Paul's will certainly be considered and "old master." And if you must have the ancient today, visit the cloister and adjoining Benedictine monastery or see the two chapels flanking the main altar which escaped destruction in the 1823 blaze.

 Homily at St Paul outside the Walls
Paul's words to the community of Corinth, "by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body" (1 Cor 12: 13), seem to form a counterpoint to Christ's prayer: "As you, Father, are in me, and I in you, I pray that they may be one in us" (Jn 17: 21).
At the gates of Damascus Paul has, in the power of the Spirit, a most extraordinary experience of the incarnate, crucified and risen Christ and becomes the Apostle of the One who "emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Phil 2: 7).
In this basilica built in honour of Paul, remembering the words with which the Apostle today has challenged our faith and our hope, "by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body", let us ask Christ to forgive everything in the Church's history which has compromised his plan of unity.

In fact, the call on the road to Damascus led Paul precisely to this: to make Christ the center of his life, leaving everything for the sublime knowledge of him and of his ministry of love, committing himself later to proclaim him to all, especially pagans "to the glory of his name" (Romans 1:5).
In the end, Paul proclaimed Christ with martyrdom, and his blood, together with that of Peter and of witnesses of the Gospel, watered this land and made fruitful the Church of Rome, which presides over the communion of charity (cf.
