In the main street of Poli there is the church of St. Peter Apostol with its magnificent bell tower.

The facade is neoclassical and very geometric.

The interior of the church has a nave rebuilt in 1600, and is rich in decorations of gold and colored stucco and ornaments.

The six side chapels have elaborately carved altars.

Behind the main altar there is an apse with a large fresco while above the entrance a beautiful wooden choir worked with an organ.

Inside it houses interesting paintings of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
