Badia di San Pietro

The three-naved basilica structure exhibits Romanesque architectural elements, including rounded arches, thick walls, and decorative stone capitals throughout the building.

The first records of the abbey date to 1038, when the Conti Cortesi family transferred ownership to Benedictine monks for establishing a religious community.

The abbey's ancient capitals from the 12th century display intricate stone carvings that represent the craftsmanship of medieval artisans in the Marche region.

The religious building, now functioning as Hotel Monteconero, stands at 450 meters above sea level and provides access to hiking trails on Mount Conero.

The underground crypt, renovated in 1223, contains stone columns and pillars that maintain their original 11th-century architectural simplicity.
