San Giovanni Battista, Gothic cathedral in San Giovanni la Punta, Italy
The three-nave cathedral features a neoclassical design with tall windows illuminating the Latin cross layout and houses numerous 17th-19th century paintings.
Built around 1380 and designated as a parish church in 1419, the cathedral suffered major damage during the devastating earthquake of January 11, 1693.
The cathedral exhibits paintings by Antonio Zacco and two wall murals created by Sebastiano Conti Consoli in 1951 within its presbytery section.
The cathedral underwent extensive restoration work between 2004 and 2006, during which it remained closed to visitors for approximately two years.
The cathedral bell tower, constructed between 1728 and 1732, stands as the second tallest in Sicily, surpassed only by the Sanctuary of Tindari.
