★★★★★3 years agoWorth visiting. Church XI century, where Saint Peter came to Roman Empire and started to preach. Wall paintings by Deodato Orlandi
Janith Chandrakumara
★★★★★4 months agoChurch with steeped in history and nice architecture. We stopped there briefly to have a look . From outside the building looks majestic. Inside is serene and has lot of character. There is a field outside good for a walk on a sunny day. There is plenty of roadside parking.
