San Giovanni Battista, Renaissance church in Fasano, Italy.

The San Giovanni Battista church displays local tufa stone construction with a three-sectioned facade divided by semi-columns and decorated with saint statues.

Built upon an ancient temple demolished in 1330, the current structure received a bell tower in 1763 featuring a bulb-shaped crown destroyed by lightning in 1897.

The church houses eight bells, including the large 'campanone' dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari, and maintains two pipe organs from different periods.

Located in Largo San Giovanni Battista, the church measures 30 meters in length, 12 meters in width, and rises 13 meters high with three naves separated by pillars.

The parish emblem beneath the rose window depicts a lamb under the Maltese cross, representing both ecclesiastical and civil authority in Fasano.
