The church of San Pietro in Montorio was built on the site of an earlier ninth-century church dedicated to St. Peter on Rome's Janiculum hill. It marks a traditional location of St. Peter's crucifixion. The chapel and convent was handed over to the Spanish congregation of the Amadeites, a branch of the Franciscan order, in 1472. With the help of the King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, they built a new church here 1481-1500, designed by Baccio Pontelli and Meo del Caprina. ["More recent scholarship has accomplished much in accurately modifying and reducing the number of works ascribed to Pontelli

the attribution of several of these, most notably the important Roman churches of S Maria della Pace and S Pietro in Montorio, remains at issue." Grove Online]
