San Pietro Martire, Vigevano, Gothic church in Vigevano, Italy
San Pietro Martire is a church with a Latin cross layout in Vigevano, distinguished by three sections on its facade and three pinnacles at the central part. The Gothic architecture creates a vertical impression that draws the eye upward.
Construction began in 1363 under architect Bartolino da Novara, and the Dominicans acquired the building in 1446 through the patronage of Filippo Maria Visconti. This connection with one of the region's most influential families shaped the site's importance for centuries.
The crypt holds the remains of Matteo Carreri, whose veneration shapes the spiritual identity of Vigevano. Visitors can discover this sacred space that holds deep meaning for the local community.
The church is located at Piazza Beato Matteo in Vigevano and visitors can arrange guided visits through the parish office. It is helpful to contact them beforehand to learn about opening times and availability.
During the French siege of 1645, the bell tower was completely demolished and required reconstruction over the following years. This rebuilding is an important part of the building's history and shows the site's resilience.
