Church of Saint John Baptist

Beautiful and excellent monastery for those who want to take spiritual retreats to take into consideration ..

the former church built even in 1300 by the Augustinian friars and located in the historic city center a stone's throw from the port and the main street of Baggiovara, at the beginning of Corso Stamira, an important access road to the center, is equipped with a very valuable portal by Giorgio da Sebenico one of the best architects of the 16th century !!!! Too bad it is completely forgotten, hidden from most people and in disuse almost always..and not included in tourist itineraries ... The writer, from Ancona, interested in the history of my city and its countless monuments has never had the pleasure of seeing it open, although inside, according to historians, nothing of interest has remained, given the various uses to which it has been subjected. even as a barracks for French soldiers. The serious fact of its tourist marginalization remains, given that, in my humble opinion, the mere vision of the portal would deserve a stop and an adequate explanation of the valuable work thanks to an adequate signaling that gives the right emphasis

Good enough

One of the special places in my life, with the luck that, moreover, it is strongly sybaritic. A true architectural work of art in Romanesque style, few tinsel and an imposing tympanum. Great Don Andrea, beautiful church !!

The affection of the people.
