San Giovanni, Baroque church in Castelvetrano, Italy.

The church features three naves separated by paired columns, with a Latin cross layout and multiple chapels containing valuable artworks along its walls.

Construction of the church began in 1589 and completed in 1660, with the bell tower being demolished in 1777 and reconstructed by Francesco Giacalone.

The interior displays frescoes depicting Saint John the Baptist's life, painted by Gennaro Pardo between 1900 and 1901 after a fire destroyed earlier works.

The church stands in Piazza Regina Margherita with a grand staircase leading to the entrance, and remains open daily for visits lasting approximately one hour.

The bell tower consists of three distinct levels built with squared stone blocks, topped by a lantern and defined by string courses.
