The church of Saint Peter dates back to the 13th century and is located at Porta San Pietro (Saint Peter's Door) a Viterbo.
Its current late Baroque style is the result of successive renovations of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The facade is separated in two architectural levels and enriched by a play of colours between white or yellow plaster and decorations in dark peperino.
The entrance is accessed through a wide staircase as wide as the facade of the church.
At the back there is a bell tower with two levels of bells that recalls the medieval origin.
Today the church is part of the St. Peter's Philosophical-Theological Institute affiliated to the Pontifical Athenaeum of St. Anselm of Rome where religious people come to study from all over the world.
