Church of San Pietro in Vitulano

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 395 m

The parish Church of San Pietro welcomes visitors arriving in Vitulano and, according to tradition, stands where a temple of Fortuna once was.

At the entrance to the village we find the Church of San Pietro, one of the parishes of Vitulano, a village at the foot of Mount Taburno known for its marble. It is often the first church we come across on arrival, and it introduces us to the religious heritage of this Sannio town.We like the tradition that the building stands on the site of an ancient temple of the goddess Fortuna, a sign of the long history of this area. We recommend starting from here for a walk that leads to the Collegiate Church of the Santissima Trinità, in the village centre.
