The parish church of San Pietro in Quinta, initially dedicated to St Peter and later also to St Paul, has origins dating back to the 11th century and is located on the border between the provinces of Ravenna and Forlì. The church features a Ravenna-style bell tower, unique in the surrounding countryside for its round shape. The bell tower has sections of Roman slabs with inscriptions used as central columns of the mullioned windows. Inside, the high altar is supported by an ancient pagan altar that shows a carved scene of the Baptism of Christ on the front and depictions of Peter and Paul on the sides. In the apse, there are six marble heads in bas-relief depicting Saints and Apostles, originally located in the previous building.
