The church of St Paul dates back to 1804 and was built on a pre-existing church in Veroli.
Probably that building was also built on a pre-existing structure as there are some medieval addittions in the facade.
The interior has the shape of a Greek cross and is surmounted by a large dome.
A large bell tower is located slightly back from the façade.
The church suffered from bombing during the Second World War that destroyed the dome and the roof.
The restoration work was completed in 1959.
The history of this district of Veroli, called Piagge Atinati, is very interesting for the link between the cities of Veroli and Atina.
It all dates back to the fall of the Roman Empire and the arrival of the Visigoths in 419 who destroyed Atina.
Its inhabitants, in chains, were freed by the Verolani and were protected by the powerful polygonal walls until they later returned to Atina.
Documents that testify to the friendship between the cities date back to 1615 and 1753 and are kept in the Biblioteca Giovardiana.
