The Basilica of St. Peter Alli Marmi (Italian: Badia di San Pietro Alli Marmi) is a Basilica comprising a church and a monastery. It is located in Eboli, 33 kilometers away from the city of Salerno, in Italy.
Originally known as the Basilica of Saint Peter Apostle, it was built at the bottom of the hill of Montedoro, where the old medieval site of the city was situated. It is one of the distinctive landmarks of the region and an important tourist destination.[1] Its construction displays the strong influence of Norman and Baroque architecture.[2][3] The church contains the remains of Saint Berniero. Attached to the church is the convent of the Capuchin friars, originally inhabited by the Benedictines. The Basilica has a characteristic cloister that incorporates an African Museum (administrated by missionary friars) and the Library of the Capuchins, which has a collection of over 15,000 volumes.
A distinctive element of the Basilica is the bell tower.[4]
