San Giovanni Battista, Romanesque church in Serravalle, Vittorio Veneto, Italy.
Description
San Giovanni Battista is a medieval church in Serravalle featuring a Romanesque facade with three naves supported by stone columns and a rose window from the 15th century. Adjacent to the main building stands a Carmelite convent dating to the 14th century, now open to visitors alongside the church.
History
The church began construction in 1367 and later served as headquarters for the Minor Conventual Friars until 1769. After this period, the building's role changed as the religious community departed.
Culture
Inside, frescoes show religious scenes, and the adjoining cloister features octagonal Corinthian columns that frame the space. These paintings reveal how the place served as a center for religious devotion and artistic expression over the centuries.
Practical
The church is open to visitors through FAI initiatives, so opening hours may vary and are best checked in advance. Both the main building and the attached convent can be visited during the same visit.
Did you know?
The bell tower was built in 1427 and stands behind the church with distinctive twin-arch windows. This structure showcases typical medieval Veneto architecture and is often overlooked by visitors exploring the main building.
