San Giovanni, Gothic church building in Saluzzo, Italy
San Giovanni church features three naves with side chapels, accessed through a descending staircase that leads to the main entrance point.
The Dominican order established their presence at San Giovanni in 1325, making it the principal religious structure in Saluzzo before the cathedral construction.
The church contains a funeral chapel of the Marquises of Saluzzo, with marble sculptures representing theological and cardinal virtues on the sepulcher base.
Visitors can access San Giovanni daily from 8:00 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 18:30, while the cloister remains open during restaurant operating hours.
The bell tower from 1376 displays five levels of architectural details and concludes with an octagonal spire topped by a bronze rooster.
