Church of Saint John the Baptist, Baroque church in Kroměříž, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint John the Baptist features an oval ground plan with a central construction flanked by chapels, a chancel, and a sacristy.

Construction of the church took place from 1737 to 1768, with contributions from artists Ignác Josef Cyrani of Bolleshaus and Jan Jiří Etgens.

The high altarpiece created by Michelangelo Unterberger displays biblical prophets and stands as the most notable altarpiece in Moravia during its time.

The vault of the nave contains detailed frescoes depicting a celestial sphere with saints, angels, and the central scene of Christ's Baptism.
