San Giovanni Battista Basilica, Minor basilica in Melegnano, Italy.
The San Giovanni Battista Basilica features three naves separated by Ionic pillars, with the central nave twice the width of the side ones.
In 1418, Pope Martin V granted special indulgences for the restoration of the church, which was in deteriorating conditions at that time.
The central altar panel, painted by Bergognone in 1506, depicts the Baptism of Christ against an extensive landscape background.
The basilica holds religious services in its central location of Melegnano, with two lateral chapels added in the early 1600s.
The bell tower, constructed in 1482, received an extension during the 17th century and stands as a marker of architectural evolution.
