Chiesa di San Pietro in Castello, Romanesque church in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
The church stands on a small cliff between Piazza Ventidio Basso and Porta Solestà, facing the Roman bridge with its medieval exterior elements.
The church received its consecration in 1142 by Bishop Presbitero, with the name 'in Castello' referring to the former local castle known as castellum de isola.
The interior contains a single nave with three chapels in the presbytery area, constructed in 1468 by Como-born architect Domenico Grici.
The building underwent restoration work in 1968, returning it to its original style while maintaining selected medieval exterior features.
The facade displays a lunette entrance and an ornate rose window dating back to the fifteenth-century renovation period.
