Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, Baroque collegiate church in Morbegno, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista is a baroque collegiate church in Morbegno that served as a major religious center for the community. Its main facade features detailed stone carvings, statues by Stefano Salterio, and classical architectural details, while the interior contains important religious relics and decorative elements.

The present church was built from 1680 to replace a 16th-century building on the site of today's churchyard. The archpriest Giovanni Battista Castelli of Sannazzaro laid the first stone on 14 April 1680 on meadows bought for 5,013 imperial lire by canons Luigi Castelli, Cesare Parravicini and Giocondo Parravicini. Construction took thirty-five years, the facade was added in stages from 1738 to 1780, and the church was consecrated on 24 June 1780.

The interior holds 36 oval paintings, only some of which are by Giuseppe Antonio Petrini of Carona; others are by different hands. Works by Giovanni Battista Pittoni, Andrea Lanzani and the Valtelline painters Cesare and Pietro Ligari fill the chapels, earning the church the name "tempio ligariano". In March 1993 thieves stole 37 paintings from the building.

The church faces a raised churchyard paved in sampietrini, reached from the town centre of Morbegno on foot. The interior is a Greek-cross hall with side chapels, so the main altar and the Ligari frescoes in the apse are seen from the centre. Two bell towers planned for the facade were never built beyond the drawing stage.

During Holy Week, two historic confraternities construct a large wooden baroque chapel within the main hall as a temporary sanctuary for the deposed urn of Christ. This seasonal ritual demonstrates a tradition rooted in centuries of local religious practice.
