The Church of San Pietro in Consavia, or Baptistery Complex of San Pietro, consists of four buildings dating from the 12th and 14th centuries. It was Bishop Landolfo di Vergiate who, after 1100, began the construction of the first buildings, as a copy of the holy sepulchre. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the church was endowed with a side building that formed a courtyard. Deteriorated and disfigured over the centuries, a restoration between 1930 and 1932 brought the church back to its former medieval structure. At the same time, an Archaeological Museum was placed there, and has recently moved to Palazzo del Michelerio.
