CHIESA SAN GIOVANNELLO
Small and beautiful church preserving its original majolica pavement
This tiny and charming 11th century church is a rare example of Byzantine architecture. It was the church of a female monastery, destroyed by earthquakes and suppressed. The interior, simple with a small apse, contains traces of frescoes which seem to indicate that the building was richly decorated. Orthodox celebrations are still held there today. In the same Piazza delle Tre Chiese, the Church of the Sacro Cuore, rebuilt in 1851, has preserved its original majolica flooring.
