Chapel of St Paul of the Cross
The third bay of the right hand aisle is the vestibule of a large external chapel, built to house the relics of St Paul of the Cross who had originally been buried in the chapel at the end of this aisle. He was beatified in 1852, and in anticipation of his canonization in 1867 the brethren began raising funds for an enormous new domed shrine-chapel for him in 1857. The architect chosen was Filippo Martinucci, who drew up plans but died in 1862 before much work had been accomplished. It was left to his son, Vincenzo Martinucci, to complete it by 1880 with decorative elements continuing for another two years.
The saint's relics are enshrined in a glass box under the altar, enclosed within a recumbent mannequin. The altarpiece above is by Francesco Coghetti, and shows St Paul of the Cross Embracing the Crucified (a depiction of a vision experienced by the saint). The two Corinthian columns of the aedicule are in Egyptian alabaster, part of a set of such columns given by Muhammad Ali, ruler of Egypt, to Pope Pius IX. Several others are to be found in San Paolo fuori le Mura. The altar was designed by Raffaele Ingami, and has above it a window with stained glass depicting the emblem of the Passionists. This is being venerated by stucco angels.
