Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista di Troia

Information

The name of Saint John the Baptist is also called "Al mercato" and the Church of Perpetual Adoration, because the Eucharist is continuously exposed within it.

The building is among the most interesting religious architecture of the village and is in an isolated position along its main road. The façade is of a sober baroque in pink sandstone, punctuated by four ionic pilasters, at the center of which insists the entrance portal surmounted by a four-lobed window. At the top a classical tympanum is incorporated in a rectangular closure, on whose top is placed a cross. On the right side stands the bell tower with three bells. The interior is always baroque and is characterized by the presence of the Renaissance arch coming from the palace of the noble family de' Pazzis which belonged to Ettore, called Miale da Troia, one of the 13 heroes who faced the French knights in the Challenge of Barletta in 1503.
