San Giovanni Calibita, Catholic church on Tiber Island, Rome, Italy.

The church stands adjacent to Fatebenefratelli Hospital, featuring a decorated interior with frescoes and paintings by Corrado Giaquinto completed in 1742.

The current structure, built in 1584 over ruins of an older church, occupies the location where the temple of Iuppiter Iurarius once stood.

During reconstruction in the 16th century, workers discovered the remains of Saint Giovanni Calibita and other religious relics beneath the main altar.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes visitors interested in exploring religious architecture and historical artworks from multiple centuries.

The Madonna della Lampada, a 13th-century icon, reportedly survived the 1557 flood with its votive lamp continuing to burn underwater.
