San Giovanni Battista Church, Gothic church in Monterosso al Mare, Italy
The San Giovanni Battista Church displays a striped facade of white marble and dark green serpentine stone, featuring an intricate central rose window.
Construction of the San Giovanni Battista Church occurred between 1244 and 1307, marking it as one of the oldest religious structures in Cinque Terre.
The church maintains its position as a central gathering point for religious ceremonies and community events in Monterosso al Mare throughout the year.
Two plaques on the exterior walls indicate the water levels from major floods in 1966 and 2011, while interior photographs document the restoration efforts.
The bell tower, originally a medieval control structure, contains Gothic mullioned windows and underwent modifications following an 18th-century earthquake.
