The Church of San Giovanni Battista in Alagna Valsesia, built in the 17th century, is an important example of sacred architecture in Baroque style. Located in the heart of the village, the church stands out for its imposing bell tower and richly decorated interiors, with frescoes and carved wooden altars. It is a spiritual and cultural reference point for the local community and a suggestive stop for those visiting the valley, also offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
