Fiuggi. Church of St. Peter

Fiuggi. Church of St. Peter

The church of St. Peter in Fiuggi was originally built outside the walls and dedicated to the SS. Apostles Peter and Paul.

In the seventeenth century it was demolished because it was in a difficult place to reach with bad weather and snow and the current church was built inside the walls by extending a previous building.

Today it is dedicated to the patron saint of Fiuggi.

The new church in Baroque style has a Latin cross-shaped plan with a large nave and six side altars. It was inaugurated in 1617 as a collegiate, and rearranged as a college of priests.

Next to the church there is a sloping bell tower, which is accessed from the Castle Square, and was the original castle watch tower.
