Iglesia de San Juan Bautista, Buenos Aires, Catholic church in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista features two-meter-thick walls and contains multiple architectural elements spanning different construction periods since 1797.

The church grounds served as a medical treatment area during the English Invasions of 1806 and 1807, with casualties from both sides buried on site.

The central patio, known as Patio de la Reconquista, displays a statue of Santa Clara that connects to local religious traditions.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands near public transportation routes in the central district of Buenos Aires.

A crypt beneath the choir houses the remains of 260 Capuchin Poor Clare nuns and the tomb of Viceroy Pedro Melo de Portugal.
