Italy - Riomaggiore, San Giovanni Battista

Italy - Riomaggiore, San Giovanni Battista
The Chiesa San Giovanni Battista is the parish church of Riomaggiore. The church was founded in the year of 1340, as stated in the plaque situated on the southern side of the building. The church is located in the upper part of the village, it was built during a period of economic development.

In 1870, following a collapse, a reconstruction of the neo-gothic style façade and an extension of the entire building were carried out, maintaining, however, the 14th century rosette in white Carrara marble. The two gothic style entrances and the single-lancet windows are remaining evidences of the original structure.

The church has a basilica plan and three naves separated by elegant pointed arches. It offers several pieces of art, among them a wooden crucifix, a 15th century triptych depicting the Virgin with Child and saints Rocco and Sebastiano and a valuable marble pulpit.
