Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista

The Church of San Giovanni Battista features a Latin cross layout with a single nave decorated with majolica tiles and a marble main altar.

The original structure dates from 1036 as San Giovanni de Staffilo, becoming a parish church in the 14th century before its 17th-century reconstruction.

The bell tower rises 36.5 meters through six orders, with the lower four having a square base supporting two hexagonal upper sections.

The church maintains its position at Via San Giovanni 8, welcoming visitors to observe its architectural elements and religious artifacts.

The dome received a covering of locally produced majolica tiles in 1902, while the oculus houses a ceramic painting of the patron saint.
