The church of San Giovanni Evangelista was founded in 970, rebuilt in the middle of the 15th century and later modernised in the late 16th century by Simon Sorella and again in 1759 by Bernadino Maccaruzzi.
Maccaruzzi retained the Gothic chancel, but opened the nave by removing the side aisles. There are two chapels to the right of the nave. The chapel now dedicated to San Carlo was originally the Cappella de la Croce, once home to a relic of the Holy Cross. The relic is now housed in the neighbouring Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista. |
