San Pietro in Montorio is a church in Rome, Italy, which includes in its courtyard The Tempietto (a small commemorative martyrium) built by Donato Bramante.
The church of San Pietro in Montorio was built on the site of an earlier 9th-century church dedicated to St. Peter on Rome's Janiculum hill. The ruins were given to the Franciscans, congregation of Amedeites led by the Portuguese João Mendes da Silva who was confessor of Pope Sixtus VI since 1472. Later commissioned by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, it marks a traditional location of St. Peter's crucifixion.
