About Church of Saint Peter
The Church of San Pietro is an ancient church dedicated to Saint Peter, built on a rocky edge in Portovenere, facing the beautiful Gulf of Poets.

The black and white bands on the walls were added by the Genoese in the 13th century, presumably between 1256 and 1277.Address : Lungo Calata Doria, 19025 Portovenere SP, Italy
