San Giovanni Battista, Racconigi, Baroque parish church in Racconigi, Italy.
The San Giovanni Battista church features a rectangular layout with a single nave, flanked by major and minor chapels reaching 30 meters in height.
The current structure, designed by architect Francesco Gallo, replaced a 13th-century building and underwent construction from 1719 to 1730, receiving consecration in 1770.
Pietro Antonio Pozzo created the interior frescoes in 1759, while Carlo Giuseppe Plura and Stefano Maria Clemente contributed carved altar statuary to the church.
The church maintains its position as the main parish of Racconigi, operating under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Turin and conducting regular religious services.
An octagonal stone baptismal font from 1473, created by the Zabreri brothers, remains preserved from the original parish church structure.
