San Giovanni Decollato, 16th-century church building in Ripa district, Rome, Italy.
The San Giovanni Decollato church features a brick facade with the inscription 'Per misericordia' and contains a nave with ornate side altars.
The church construction began in 1504 on the site of Santa Maria de fovea, commissioned by the Archconfraternity of the Beheaded John the Baptist from Florence.
The interior displays Mannerist frescoes by Francesco Salviati and Jacopino del Conte, depicting scenes from Saint John the Baptist's life.
The church opens for Saturday Mass and yearly on June 24 for the feast day, when visitors can access the small museum with execution artifacts.
The cloister contains seven marble-covered hatches in the floor that were used to lower the bodies of executed individuals into mass graves.
