La reutilización arquitectónica en la iglesia de San Pedro en Alba Fucens

The church of St. Peter in Alba Fucens (Italy), built on an ancient temple in the Roman city (3rd century BC) on the hill with the same name, is an interesting example of the architectural reuse of materials. The history of the church is marked by the violent earthquake of 1915, when a large part of the structure collapsed. It was rebuilt in the 1950s with the original elements recovered from the rubble.
