The church in late Mannerism style in stile

The church – built between 1614 and 1624 – presents a late Roman Mannerism style with a single nave, altars on the right side and a chapel embellished with original stucco decorations on the left; even the floors are original.

The choir is also original and in walnut and appreciated among the major ones in Umbria; above it the seventeenth-century fresco, The prayer in the garden portraying the two sleeping apostles.

Outside the wood, various gardens and a source of water could be admired. The dense wood of centuries-old oaks and holm oaks completes the compound of San Pietro sopra le Acque (St
