Church of St. Peter extra moenia (outside the walls). This building is obviously Romanesque in style. It was one of the most important churches of the city for a long time. In fact many of Spoleto's bishops are buried here. It stands above the intersection of the Flaminia road with the beginning of the road leading up to Monteluco. The small rise on which it stands can also be reached by climbing up a wide seventeenth century stair case.

Originally in the fifth century the building was meant to house the relics of the saint in a place where there once stood an ancient necropolis. It was made bigger in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Today is has a nave and two aisles with pillars supporting Roman arches. The marvellous façade has three portals. It is divided by pilaster strips and cornice work executed in three bands within which square sections have been symmetrically placed.

The sculptural decoration in bas-relief within the square sections is truly remarkable. They tell the story of good and evil via symbolic representations. The artists were local but endowed with noteworthy and incisive expressive capacity.

Next to the apse on the outside, there is the small church of San Silvestro dating back to the fourteenth century. It has recently been restored.
