Kirken San Giovanni Battista - Erice

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Denne kirke stammer sandsynligvis fra det 12. århundrede og med sin misundelsesværdige panoramiske beliggenhed foran Monte Cofano er den et ikonisk element i det monumentale landskab i Erice. Den blev restaureret i det 15. århundrede og genopbygget for anden gang mellem 1631 og 1672, en periode hvor kuplen blev bygget og bærer en indskrift indgraveret med denne dato. Bygningen af klokketårnet, som blev påbegyndt i 1691, forblev ufuldendt. I 1798 blev det færdiggjort med stuk.

Brüderskabet San Giovanni Battista var en af de tre store bruderskaber i Erice.

Kirken huser mesterværker af skulptur fra den sicilianske renæssance, såsom Besøgsgruppen af Gabriele di Battista, værk fra 1497. I kapellet San Giovanni Evangelista er der på alterbordet en marmorskulptur af St. Johannes Evangelisten, et værk udført af Antonello Gagini i 1531.
