Church of San Giovanni Battista

San Giovanni Battista is a catholic church located in the upper part of the historical center of Riomaggiore on Via Pecunia
The church was founded in 1340 but received a facelift in 1870 giving it a neo-Gothic facade. Original 14th-century elements, however, remain, including the rose window made of Carrera marble and the side entrances.
