Chiesa di San Pietro Martire was designed in
Lombard Gothic style in fourteenth century by
Bartolino da Novara. It has been altered and
restored a number of times. In the fifteenth
century it was linked to the castle, acting as
its chapel. Il was adjacent to the Dominican
monastery which was the home of the blessed
Matteo Carreri, the patron saint of the town, and
which was, in 1696, the place where the French
and the Austrians signed the Pace di Vigevano,
thus putting an end to six year of war
