The church consecrated to San Giovanni Battista of Monteferrante dates back at least to the early 14th century, as attested by a historical document that speaks about it as an ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the monastery of Santa Maria in Basilica of Villa Santa Maria. However, the building has undergone various transformations and additions that have almost wiped out original features. Note the hut roof of the simple elevation; the gateway is surmounted by a triangular tympanum with broken sides, at whose centre lies a gravestone under a cross. While the facade is covered with stones, the side walls show a limestone rough ashlar structure. Next to the church there is a bell tower divided into three levels by string courses. Inside there is a complex coating of stucco and plaster, probably added after the foundation. The nave is put beside a series of pilasters of Corinthian style, surmounted by gilded capitals and closed at the top by a jutting out cornice. The barrel vault is open in various lunettes and reinforced by transverse ogives. At the centre of the vault there is the fresco Deposizione di Cristo dalla Croce framed in a golden cornice. Other frescoes as the images of the four evangelists, adorn the cover set at the intersection of the nave and the transept. The high altar is within presbytery, it is raised if compared with the church and it is closed by a marble balustrade. Lateral columns, the curvilinear tympanum culminating in a putti stucco and scroll ornaments pediment give the altar a Baroque style stateliness which contrasts with the linearity of the two side altars in the transept.
