San Giovanni in Monte, 15th-century Roman Catholic church in Bologna, Italy

San Giovanni in Monte features a Renaissance-style facade from 1474, a forty-meter bell tower, and houses works from renowned artists like Raphael and Perugino.

The church's foundations date back to 433 when Saint Petronius established a round church called Monte Oliveto at this location in Bologna.

The interior contains notable artworks including stained glass windows by Lorenzo Costa, sculptures by Niccolò dell'Arca, and an 11th-century altar with detailed carvings.

The church stands at Piazza San Giovanni in Monte 3 in Bologna, with regular services and opportunities for visitors to explore its architectural elements.

During World War II, the church sustained substantial damage from a 1944 bombing raid, destroying three chapels before undergoing restoration between 1947 and 1950.
