San Giovanni Battista, Parish church in Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Italy.

The stone church features three entrance doors, monolithic granite columns separating the nave from side aisles, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling with painted decorations.

Built in 1515 on the foundations of an older chapel, the church underwent expansion in the 1700s with the addition of two asymmetrical side aisles.

The church houses a 13th-century wooden crucifix, German Baroque goldsmith works, and an 1895 Vegezzi Bossi organ donated by Queen Margherita.

The church stands in the central square of Gressoney-Saint-Jean, with a porticoed courtyard containing Stations of the Cross frescoes from 1626.

A bronze bust of Queen Margherita of Savoy, installed in 1928, decorates the church facade overlooking the Òbre Platz square.
