San Pietro a Careggi, Catholic church in Careggi, Florence, Italy

San Pietro a Careggi is a church on Via Cosimo il Vecchio in the Careggi district of Florence. It has a single nave and is preceded by a 17th-century portico. The apse dome and vault are decorated with frescoes by Cesare Maffei painted between 1859 and 1861.

The building was first recorded in 1036 as a three-nave structure before an earthquake in the 14th century forced its redesign into a single nave. This change shaped how the space functioned from that point forward.

The church was under the patronage of the Pilli family and later the Medici, who had their villa in the parish. Behind the main altar hangs a photographic replica of Francesco Conti's Christ Giving the Keys to Saint Peter; on the left wall is a photographic copy of Domenico di Michelino's Madonna and Child, formerly in the convent of Sant'Agata in via San Gallo.

The church sits on Via Cosimo il Vecchio in western Florence and is easy to reach on foot. You can move freely through the interior at your own pace to explore the different areas.

The left altar holds an original Santa Filomena, a rare painting by Aristodemo Costoli, made around 1850; he is better known as a sculptor. Most other works inside are photographic reproductions, including Francesco Conti's Christ Giving the Keys to Saint Peter behind the main altar and Domenico di Michelino's Madonna and Child on the left wall.
