San Pietro, Minor basilica in Perugia, Italy.
The basilica features three naves with ionic columns, a gilded coffered ceiling, and numerous paintings spanning from the 15th to 19th centuries.
Founded in 965 by monk Pietro Vincioli, the San Pietro complex originated on an ancient Etruscan-Roman sacred site where a cathedral stood in the 6th century.
The church holds the second largest collection of Perugino paintings in Umbria, including five predella panels from the San Pietro Polyptych.
The complex includes three cloisters leading to a botanical garden, a medieval garden, an art gallery, and a library containing ancient manuscripts.
Below the apse lies a circular early medieval crypt with an ambulatory and walls decorated with geometric patterns.
