San Pietro alle Scale, Roman Catholic church in Siena, Italy.

The brick facade of San Pietro alle Scale features a portal displaying a relief of Saint Peter in glory among angels.

Originally constructed in the 12th century, the church underwent a complete transformation into Baroque style during the 17th century, with a bell tower added in 1699.

The interior houses fragments of a 14th-century polyptych by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, depicting Madonna with Child and various saints in remarkable detail.

The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its artistic collection, including works by Rutilio Manetti and Francesco Rustici.

Among the church decorations, a notable fresco fragment near the entrance shows Saint Catherine by Liberale da Verona, dating from approximately 1470.
