A frontal view of St. Peter's Church nave shows the imposing organ framed by red marble columns and the wooden gallery. The white vaulted ceiling with stucco decorations creates a bright and solemn atmosphere. Chairs arranged neatly in the nave allow worshippers to participate in services and concerts regularly held in this historic church. The organ, one of the most important in the city, is the protagonist of a renowned concert season. This symmetrical view enhances the harmony of the Baroque proportions of the building, rebuilt in the 18th century.
