The church of St. Peter is of great interest for its bas-relief which adorns the 13th century facade. From the front of St. Peter’s  there is a wonderful view of the whole of Spoleto up to the mighty and magnificent Ponte delle Torri bridge which connects to the Rocca, dominating the city from the Sant’Elia hill, and to Monteluco, starting point of many pathways through the woods and the natural landscape. There are many beautiful churches in Roman and gothic style, among them the cathedral and the churches of San Gregorio and San Domenico.
