Tempio Pausania - Church of Saint Peter the Apostle

Restoration of the church of Saint Peter the Apostle in Fundu di Monti in Tempio Pausania (CUP E57B22000730006)

The church of Saint Peter the Apostle was erected in 1929 following the contribution granted by Pope Pius XI for the construction of churches in Sardinia and in southern Italy.

The church, of modest size, is characterized by a rectangular plan with rounded corners, near the altar. In addition to the church, there is a small attached sacristy.

The structure has remained intact over time, it is completely plastered outside. The pyramidal-shaped bell tower, elongated at the top, is not matched by the typical local bell
towers. In particular, the external windows, characterized by a fingernail shape, stand out. The interior has a brick altar in whose niche there is the statue of the patron saint. Near the church there are some houses (stazzi) that are still inhabited today

With the contribution of the PNRR, a radical restoration was carried out, which included, in particular, the following processes:

Renovation of the roof
construction of new internal flooring
renovation of internal and external walls
Renovation of the windows
