The St. Peter's Church is in the heart of the historical centre at the highest point of Acuto and is in Lombard - Byzantine style.
It dates from the thirteenth century, although its present appearance is due to the many renovations over the centuries.
The building suffered collapses due to earthquakes and lightning, and only a central arch and the side wall on the right belong to the Middle Ages.
The facade is simple and edged by white stone and the last time it was refaced was in 1949.
It is identified by an elegant rose window above the front door while the bell tower dating from 1907 was built with the same Romanesque church style, and is surrounded by limestone.
The inside of the church appears simple with bare walls and only the right-hand wall is covered with frescoes of the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries that demonstrate how the whole building had been painted.
The altar has two side windows that give a mystic effect to the church.
