San Giovanni Decollato alle Case Rotte, Medieval church building in Porta Nuova district, Milan, Italy.

The church exhibited an octagonal floor plan inscribed within an ellipse, with a three-arched portico supported by columns on its facade.

Constructed in 1390 on the ruins of Torriani family houses, the church functioned until 1874 when it was deconsecrated and later demolished in 1907.

The interior contained notable artworks, including Francesco Cairo's painting of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist and a 14th-century fresco.

The building served as Municipal Archives after its deconsecration in 1874, before making way for the Banca Commerciale Italiana near Piazza della Scala.

The original facade was preserved and relocated to the right side of Santa Maria Segreta church in 1924, maintaining architectural continuity.
