Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist

The Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist is a baroque structure in Angri with curved lines and ornamental details throughout its facade and interior. Built in the mid-1800s, the church sits near the town's railway station.

The church was founded in 1878 and served as the birthplace of a religious community established by Alfonso Maria Fusco. This congregation grew and spread to different regions over subsequent decades.

The church hosts a celebration on June 24 for St. John the Baptist that draws residents and visitors to mark the feast day. The interior reflects the devotion of generations who have worshipped within these walls.

The church is located near the town's railway station and is easily reached by car or train. Visitors should know that like most churches, it has limited hours and may be closed during religious services.

This church gave birth to a religious congregation that spread across multiple continents after its founding. Today members of this community work in numerous countries, carrying forward the legacy that began in this building.
