Church of Santi Apostoli Pietro e Paolo in Cusano Mutri

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 461 m

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, the oldest in Cusano Mutri, holds a large Baroque altar of 1661 with statues of the apostles.

Considered the oldest church in Cusano Mutri, once known as San Pietro all'Elce, it stood next to the castle and the feudal lords could follow the services from an inner window. In the 18th century it received its façade and side portals; the 1962 restoration revealed its Romanesque-style layout with a nave and two aisles.We are fascinated by the large Baroque altar made in 1661 by master Domenico de Luca, with God the Father, the Epiphany, the Holy Family and the Magi on horseback, together with life-size statues of Saints Peter and Paul and busts of the other apostles in the niches. We also recommend noticing the bronze knocker on the central portal.
