San Pedro Apostol Church (Apalit Pampanga)
Known for their Fluvial Festival and the life size Image of Saint Peter made of Ivory. The church stands next to a large body of water, the Pampanga River. Those who take the North Luzon Expressway can have a better glimpse of the structure. Church façade features a twin towered belfry, atop a galvanized structure same as the material used for the dome. The interior features a monochromatic painting on walls done by students of world’s famous painter Alberoni. The retablo mayor remains though painted several times, to date the paint is colored to appear as wood type. People are allowed to go up the retablos back for them to be able to touch the Image of San Pedro.
