Insieme alla Cattedrale, costituisce l’ultima chiesa rimasta delle diverse che esistevano all’interno delle mura urbane. Dell’edificio medievale, consacrato a S. Lorenzo, rimane solo il piccolo campanile. Il nome e la struttura attuali vanno invece ascritti al “600”, quando la chiesa subì una radicale trasformazione secondo i canoni dello stile tardo-barocco; la navata unica venne infatti coperta con volta a botte ribassata, sormontata nel presbiterio da una cupola ellittica, mentre alle pareti, scompartite da semipilastri, furono addossati quattro altari.   

The church of S. Giovanni

Together to the Cathedral, it is the last church left among all house which were erected inside the walls of the town. The medieval building was consecrated to St. Lawrence and only its small steeple is left. In the 17th cent. The church took today’s name and structure when it was completely transformed according to the rules of the of the late baroque style; its only nave was covered with a lower barrel vault and an elliptical dome was built on it in the presbytery, while against the side walls, devided up by halt-pillars, four altars were leant.
