San Giovanni, Romanesque church in Campiglia Marittima, Italy

The Pieve di San Giovanni features a Latin cross layout with a wooden trussed roof and stone carvings beside the entrance doors.

The first mention of this church appears in a Papal document from 1075, while the current structure dates to the 12th century.

Stone carvings at the side entrance depict the Calydonian Boar Hunt along with lions and additional mythological figures.

The church stands within the cemetery grounds, requiring visitors to check opening hours to prevent being locked inside after their visit.

A SATOR square palindrome inscription marks the outer wall, connecting the site to Knights Templar presence in medieval times.
