Church of San Pietro Apostolo in Portico di Caserta

In the centre of Portico di Caserta, the Church of San Pietro Apostolo is among the town's most significant monuments. Its current appearance dates from the 17th century, when the building was entirely rebuilt, but its history has gone through several phases, spanning the 16th and 18th centuries and 20th-century works. It is a place that tells of the evolution of this town on the Caserta plain over the centuries.We suggest including the church in a stroll around the town centre, noticing how the different eras have left their mark on the building. We like discovering these places at a relaxed pace, away from the big tourist crowds, to grasp the bond between the community and its church dedicated to the apostle Peter. It is a short but pleasant stop, easy to combine with a visit to Caserta and the surrounding area.
