Abbey of Saint Peter, Romanesque abbey in Assisi, Italy
The Abbey of Saint Peter features a rectangular facade made of pink stone from Mount Subasio, with three portals and multiple rose windows.
Founded in the 10th century by Benedictine monks, the abbey received consecration from Pope Innocent IV in 1253 after its reconstruction in the 13th century.
The interior walls display funeral monuments of Assisi aristocrats from the 13th and 14th centuries, along with period paintings depicting religious scenes.
The abbey functions as a Religious House of Hospitality, providing accommodation for individuals, groups, and families visiting the religious sites of Assisi.
The Gothic Holy Sacrament chapel contains a triptych by Matteo da Gualdo and houses the relics of Saint Vittorino in the high altar's sarcophagus.
