San Giovanni Battista Church, Parish church in Candiolo, Italy.

San Giovanni Battista Church is the parish church of Candiolo, built in 1713 with funding from fra' Marcello Sacchetti. Its northwest facade has a tall central section with four composite-order half-columns supporting a triangular pediment, flanked by lower wings with Corinthian pilasters and semicircular pediments. A square bell tower with a single round-arched opening on each side stands beside it. The interior has three naves divided by pillars, a raised presbytery, and a semicircular apse.

The first parish church of Candiolo was the church of the Madonna della Spina, belonging to the Order of Malta and recorded as parrochialem sub titulo Sancte Marie loci Candioli in the acts of Monsignor Peruzzi's 1584 visit. In 1713 it was replaced by the new Neoclassical parish church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, built with funds from fra' Marcello Sacchetti. The cemetery around the church was moved outside the built-up area in 1836; side aisles were added in 1842, and in 1881 the building was lengthened by eight metres and given its facade.

The parish is dedicated to John the Baptist, to whom the main altar's altarpiece is dedicated. The church replaced the older Madonna della Spina church, which belonged to the Order of Malta and was recorded in 1584 as "parrochialem sub titulo Sancte Marie loci Candioli" during Monsignor Peruzzi's visit.

The church stands at Piazza Sella 2 in central Candiolo, with its northwest-facing facade and square bell tower visible from the piazza. The interior is reached through the architraved main portal; the presbytery is raised two steps above the nave floor. The cemetery that once surrounded the building was moved outside the built-up area in 1836, so no graves remain beside the church.

The high altarpiece, a painting of Saint John the Baptist, is the most prized work kept in the church. The building itself replaced the older church of the Madonna della Spina, which belonged to the Order of Malta and was recorded in a 1584 visitation by Monsignor Peruzzi.
