Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, Baroque minor basilica and parish church in Monterosso Almo, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista is a Baroque church with four distinct levels topped by a central bell tower and a grand balustraded terrace. Wide stairs lead up to the main facade, giving the building a stately and well-proportioned appearance.

A church existed here by the 16th century, and a San Giovanni district is recorded in 1593; by 1645 it held the right to baptise. The 1693 earthquake damaged it only in part, so it served as the town's mother church for two years while the real one was rebuilt. Repairs continued through the 18th century, and Vincenzo Sinatra gave the building its Baroque form.

The statues above the entrance show John the Baptist alongside Saint Paul with a sword and Saint Peter holding a book and keys. These figures shape how the church's front looks and tell visitors about the religious meaning of the place.

The church faces the central piazza of Monterosso Almo, alongside the town hall, the church of Sant'Anna and the palazzi Sardo and Coccuza. Access to the facade is by a broad flight of steps up to a balustraded terrace, so the entrance is reached on foot from the square.

The 1651 pastoral visit by Archbishop Giovanni Antonio Capobianco recorded ten altars inside the church, among them those of Saint John the Baptist, Saints Cosmas and Damian, Saint Joseph, Saint Catherine and the Pietà. The same record notes the sacred cups that held the Eucharist.
