Hiking
The church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Bienno (BS) is an ancient place of worship, now deconsecrated, located along the Strada Statale n.345, just outside the historic center of the village.
The building features a simple but evocative architecture, typical of rural religious structures in Valle Camonica.
The church has a rectangular single-nave plan, covered by three cross vaults.
The perimeter walls are exposed stone and the facade is preceded by a portico attached to the long side facing the road.
A characteristic bell gable stands on the eastern corner of the apse.
