Chiesa di San Pietro Apostolo

The Chiesa di San Pietro Apostolo features round arches and solid stone walls that demonstrate classical Romanesque design principles from northern Italy.

The church underwent multiple transformations since the 4th century, with a significant reconstruction at the end of the 11th century and major renovations in 1765.

The church maintained strong connections with Benedictine nuns, who held the title of canonesses through a royal privilege granted in the 9th century.

Located in Via San Pietro, the church operates under the jurisdiction of Padua Cathedral and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural heritage.

In January 1745, the Benedictine nuns of San Pietro won such a large sum in the Venetian Republic lottery that they needed a wheelbarrow to collect their winnings.
