San Giovanni Fuoricivitas

The Basilica of San Giovanni Foricitas is a stunning church built in the 12th century A.D. It was initially outside the city walls, but as the centuries passed the city expanded greatly and the church became within its territory. The church was very small when it was built, and it would have undergone huge expansions over the ages, but visitors can still see its original decorated facade. The church of San Giovanni Foricivitas attracted famous artists who turned it into one of the most important churches in Italy.
