Chiesa di San Pietro a Coppito, 13th-century Gothic church in L'Aquila, Italy

The Chiesa di San Pietro a Coppito is a 13th-century Gothic church in L'Aquila with a white stone facade featuring vertical pilasters and horizontal cornices. Two Roman marble lions flank the entrance portal, and the building is crowned by an octagonal bell tower.

The church was built in 1254 by the inhabitants of the castle of Coppito, on the site of an earlier temple, and was already standing in 1257, when the archpriest of San Pietro signed the treaty uniting the dioceses of Amiterno and Forcona. After Manfred of Sicily destroyed the city, it was rebuilt from 1266, and the bell tower, resembling that of Santa Maria di Collemaggio, was raised between 1266 and 1280. In the 14th century it became the head church of the San Pietro quarter, one of the city's four.

The interior displays medieval frescoes showing Saint George and a notable wall painting of Saint Louis King by Antonio Cavaretto. These artworks reveal the religious devotion and artistic skill of the medieval community.

The church stands at the crossing of via Roma and via Coppito, on a small irregular piazza reached by a short flight of steps up to the raised facade. It reopened for worship on 29 June 2024 after the facade was repaired in 2014 and the interior and bell tower in October 2018. The octagonal fountain with four spouts and the eagle emblem of L'Aquila sits in the middle of the square.

The octagonal bell tower, rebuilt in the second half of the 15th century by Lombard masters, has a spiral staircase inside. Its form recalls the bell tower of Santa Maria di Collemaggio. The two stone lions beside the portal are ancient Roman works, probably from Amiternum, whose symbol was the lion.
