San Giovanni Evangelista’s Church

Among the wonders set in the Sabina landscape, overlooking the placid waters of Lake Turano, is a church that combines Baroque charm and medieval roots. Renovated in the 17th century, it preserves inside sacred art treasures such as a precious 16th-century “Virgin and Child” and, in the apse, a 17th-century fresco depicting St. Anatolia and St. John the Evangelist. Its central location, right next to the 1898 Triton Fountain, makes it easily accessible and perfect for a stop during a visit to the village. In addition to its historical and artistic value, it is also striking for an unexpected detail: its bell tower, on which plants such as pansy and mint grow spontaneously, creating a rare balance between architecture and nature. The view of the lake, visible right from there, gives unforgettable glimpses and makes it an ideal destination for those who love to photograph landscapes and discover hidden corners of the Lazio region.
