The church dedicated to San Pietro Apostolo, cathedral of the diocese of Tempio-Ampurias, stands in the heart of the historic center. Built starting from 1200, the medieval granite building underwent various changes over the centuries, from the construction of the bell tower in the 16th century to the expansion works completed in 1827. The inauguration and consecration took place on June 2, 1839 by the bishop Monsignor Capece, who commissioned many of the marble furnishings of San Pietro.

The church presents itself 2 St. Peter's Basilica in baroque style. It consists of a single nave with four chapels on each side. The very simple façade, slightly enlivened by the splayed portal and the two round-arched windows of the upper part, is deprived of its function by the much more complex side on the right side. with pediment openings, oculi decorated with mosaics and the articulation of the surface by pairs of strongly raised pilasters.

The interior, in the nave, covered by a grooved barrel vault, has four chapels on each side and a semicircular apse where the wooden "choir" is located, the individual columns are deeper, forming almost a transept, to which the large raised and apsidal area of the presbytery is attached.

The last restoration works date back to 2007: thanks to them, the vault has regained its ancient colors, with bright green tones that highlight the nineteenth-century marble furnishings in baroque-Genoese style, including the main altar, the pulpit, the baptismal font and some statues.

The cathedral is equipped with a beautiful organ by Paolo Ciresa, dating from 1980, consisting of 25 registers and 1726 pipes.
