Saint Jean Baptiste is a richly decorated, fairly large three-aisled church - the main church in Bastia.

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this church in Bastia is dedicated, is—like Saint Joseph—a man on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After announcing the Incarnation through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. John the Baptist is six months older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan River. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven.

The feast day of Saint Jean Baptiste in the calendar of saints is June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve.
