Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista

The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista is a 13th-14th century Ligurian Gothic church located in the heart of Monterosso al Mare's old town. Recognizable by its distinctive black and white striped marble facade, the church offers a serene respite from the bustling streets. Inside, visitors can admire the striped marble columns, a rose window, and various religious artworks. The church has faced challenges from flooding, with evidence of restoration visible. It remains an active place of worship for the local community and a popular stop for those exploring the Cinque Terre.
