From the Paleo-christian age to the best form of Technology

The church dedicated to San Pietro is a very ancient one. The first building belongs to the Paleochristian age and it is said that the same San Pietro preached there. In 1076 was the Norman Ruggero d'Altavilla who asked for a sacred building in the same place and there Pietro d'Aragona formally swore to keep the promised privileges for Trapani. In this same church Carlo V, gave the city the Turkish vexillum gained after the Tunis' campaign in 1535.
