SS. Pietro e Paolo, Gothic Revival church in central Palermo, Italy.

The church features a volcanic tuff stone facade with three pointed arch entrances and an octagonal bell tower alongside the building.

Built in 1865, the church functioned as a chapel for the adjacent Benedictine monastery until 1940, when it transformed into a parish church.

The interior displays frescoes by Giuseppe la Manna depicting religious figures, including Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the three apses.

Visitors can access the church without charge from Monday to Saturday between 8:00-12:00 and 16:00-20:30, with extended evening hours on Sundays.

The wooden pulpit, crafted by sculptor Salvatore Valenti in 1888, stands among twelve columns connected by pointed arches in the three-nave interior.
