Chiesa di San Pietro in Borgo, Medieval church in Borgo, Rome, Italy
San Pietro in Borgo features distinctive architectural elements near Porta Cavalleggeri, adjacent to the Vatican City territory in Rome's historic district.
Built in the 11th century, the church became a subsidiary of St. Peter's Basilica, as documented in papal bulls from 1053, 1158, and 1186.
The building formerly connected to Schola Francorum, which provided accommodation for French pilgrims visiting Saint Peter's tomb in Vatican City.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and contains internal frescos from the 15th century, including a 16th-century panel depicting Madonna with Child.
Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani's remains rest within the church, which was once named San Salvatore de Ossibus due to a pilgrim cemetery nearby.
