Built in the fifteenth century, it was restored in depth in the seventeenth century. Today it has a flat crowned façade built of sandstone blocks, on top of which a very large bell tower stands for three bells.

At the top of the structure is a statue of St. Peter almost completely eroded by time and below, in a niche set in the bell tower, you can see a papal coat of arms containing a tiara and two crossed keys. The interior, in Baroque style, has a cross plan and holds many precious elements such as wooden statues, an enamelled chalice from 1426 and several paintings.

The main altar dates from the seventeenth century and on it are placed the statues of St. Peter, St. Paul and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Finally, on the side walls are the altars of the Purging Souls (seventeenth century), St. Anthony of Padua (1699) and of the Rosary which, unlike the others, has columns in the Corinthian style.
