Church of San Pietro in Silki

San Pietro in Silki
Where a village named Silki once stood, now the church of San Pietro overlooks the square of the same name, together with the Franciscan Convent and the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine delle Grazie.
The building, originally from the 11th century, has undergone various remodeling over time, alternating the Romanesque style with the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. The façade is from the 17th century with a portal (originally there were three) and a lunette tympanum. The single-nave interior opens into numerous chapels (the first, dedicated to the Virgin, is the most important). At the bottom stands the gilded high altar of exquisite workmanship containing the polychrome ceramic simulacrum of the Madonna delle Grazie with Child.
Adjacent to the square and the church, there are the "Orti di San Pietro", a large green space enclosed by an ancient wall and whose dry terraces include vegetable gardens, vineyards, a citrus grove and a vast olive grove, in addition to some centuries-old trees.
Unfortunately, the Gardens are open only occasionally.
