The mausoleum lies a few hundred feet away from the burial place of the Apostle Peter, revered by Catholics as the founder of the Catholic Church and first Pope.
The mausoleum consisting of several rooms is noted for the stucco detail work on its walls, a popular art form at the time of its construction in the second century AD.
