St Peter's Italian Church, Roman Catholic basilica in Clerkenwell, London, England
St Peter's Italian Church features a grand loggia, twin arches, three alcoves, and a 33-meter bell tower constructed in 1891 on Clerkenwell Road.
The church opened in 1863 under Saint Vincent Pallotti's request to serve Italian immigrants, becoming the first basilica-style church in the United Kingdom.
The church maintains Italian religious traditions through regular services, festivals, and the annual July processione that brings together the Italian community.
The building accommodates two thousand people and remains open for both religious services and architectural visits throughout the week.
The church houses one of England's largest bells, weighing 87 hundredweight, cast in 1862 by Naylor Vickers of Sheffield.
