Colliano's mother church, of 13th-century origin and rebuilt in the 18th century, with a Baroque façade and stone lions.

The mother church of Saints Peter and Paul dominates Colliano's historic centre, overlooking its forecourt and Largo Mons. Benedetto Agosto. Its origins go back to the 13th century, but its present appearance is due to an 18th-century rebuilding; after damage in the 1980 earthquake it was fully restored and reopened for worship in 2000.We suggest pausing at the Baroque façade: three stone portals, a pediment supported by volutes with obelisks and two stone lions on the pinnacles. Inside, a three-nave Latin cross, is the statue of the patron, Pope Leo IX. We also like the frescoes above the entrances, with the Sacred Heart and the two titular apostles.
