San Pietro, Religious museum in Massa d'Albe, Italy.

San Pietro is a Romanesque church on the hill above the Alba Fucens archaeological site in Massa d'Albe. It has three naves divided by columns, a Cosmatesque iconostasis made by master Andrea in the 13th century, and a left-side ambo with a double ramp and double lectern. The church was rebuilt between 1955 and 1957 after the 1915 Avezzano earthquake.

San Pietro stands where the temple of Apollo of Alba Fucens once rose; a paleochristian church first replaced it, and the present Romanesque forms date from the early 12th century, built with craftsmen from San Clemente a Casauria. The Benedictine possession was confirmed in 866 by Emperor Louis the Pious. The Avezzano earthquake of 1915 destroyed it, and between 1955 and 1957 Raffaello Delogu rebuilt it by near-complete anastylosis, keeping only a few 15th- and 16th-century additions.

The name references the apostle Peter, a key figure in medieval religious devotion throughout Christian Europe. Visitors can see the intricate stone carvings and columns that show the skill and care put into religious spaces during that era.

The building now operates as a museum with interior access for viewing architectural features and historical objects displayed throughout the space. Visitors should allow time to climb to the hilltop location and expect stone steps and passages that require steady footing.

The 1915 Avezzano earthquake destroyed the church; between 1955 and 1957 Raffaello Delogu rebuilt it by near-complete anastylosis, keeping only a few of the 15th- and 16th-century additions. Cesare Brandi called the result "by far the best ever carried out in Italy".
