San Pietro in Vincoli Church, 17th-century church in Traves, Italy

San Pietro in Vincoli is a 17th-century church in Traves with a southwest-facing gabled facade divided into two registers by a string course, the lower with a portal topped by a broken semicircular tympanum, the upper with a window and two frescoes under a triangular pediment. A square-based bell tower with a single opening on each side stands attached. Inside, pillars with lowered arches separate three naves: the central one barrel-vaulted, the side ones cross-vaulted.

San Pietro in Vincoli was built at the beginning of the 17th century and became a parish church on 14 January 1616, though its marriage and baptism registers begin only in 1651. In 1752 Archbishop Giambattista Roero di Pralormo noted that Traves had previously depended on the parish of Mezzenile and housed three confraternities. The church was consecrated on 18 August 1759, adapted to post-conciliar norms in 1983, and restored between 2006 and 2011.

The church is dedicated to Saint Peter in Chains, a name recalling his imprisonment in Jerusalem. Its three confraternities, noted by Archbishop Roero di Pralormo in 1752, were lay associations that once organized devotions and processions here. The facade carries two frescoes above the entrance, visible from the square.

The entrance portal sits on the southwest facade, not the west. The interior is divided into three naves by pillars supporting lowered arches, with the presbytery raised three steps; the central nave has a barrel vault and the side aisles cross vaults.

The square bell tower is attached to the parish church and divided into several registers by stone cornices; each side of the bell cell has a single opening, and the cell is covered by a four-pitched roof.
