Church of San Giovanni Battista in Atripalda

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 309 m

A church from 1589 with the former convent of San Pasquale, works by Paolo De Matteis and a maiolica-tiled chapel.

The church of San Giovanni Battista was built in 1589 with its adjoining convent, later known as San Pasquale, thanks to Prince Marino I Caracciolo, and completed in 1593. From 1670 it was entrusted to the Alcantarine Fathers.Between the 17th and 18th centuries the single nave was enriched with paintings by Paolo De Matteis and Antonio Sarnelli. We recommend the maiolica-tiled chapel of the Volto Santo (Holy Face), reached from the sacristy.
