Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist, Baroque collegiate church in Angri, Italy

The Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist is a baroque church in Angri, a town in the province of Salerno in southern Italy. The facade features curved lines and decorative details, while the interior has a richly decorated ceiling and side altars.

The church was first built in 1181 by the local priest Giovanni de Miro and dedicated to Sant'Angelo, that is St. Michael the Archangel, a devotion shared by the local population and the Lombards. It was later renamed for St. John the Baptist, the town's new patron, and its status changed from parish to collegiate church. Some historians hold that the older church of Sant'Angelo stood within the perimeter of today's collegiate church.

The church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist, whose feast on June 24 brings a procession through Angri that draws people from the surrounding towns. The square in front fills with residents, and the event remains one of the most attended days in the local calendar.

The church sits in the center of Angri, close to the railway station, and is easy to reach on foot from there. As with most churches, it may be closed during services, so visiting outside of main worship hours is a good idea.

The church was first built in 1181 by the local priest Giovanni de Miro and dedicated to Sant'Angelo, meaning St. Michael the Archangel, before later taking the name of St. John the Baptist as the town's patron.
