A Gothic masterpiece of particular artistic and historical interest. Outside, the façade is surprisingly beautiful, while inside, a chapel evokes a horrible story of persecution.
Built perhaps in the 12th century in place of a pre-existing chapel, the church of San Pietro immediately strikes the visitor with its facade in Venetian neo-Gothic style rebuilt in 1850. The first reconstruction, the late Gothic style, however, dates back to the end of the 15th century at the time of Bishop Giovanni Hinderbach. The construction of the bell tower dates back to those years. Of particular historical interest, inside, is the Chapel of Simonino dedicated to the cult of "little Simone", a three-year-old child whose body was found lifeless in 1475. His death was unjustly blamed on the Jews of the city who suffered atrocious persecutions for it. The Church recognized the baselessness of the accusation only in 1964, officially abolishing infant worship.
