EGLISE SAINT JEAN BAPTISTE DE CARBINI +Added to my favoriteItem already present

Presentation

The Église Saint Jean-Baptiste de Carbini dates from the 12C. Carbini was a very important place of worship for the ""Giovannali"" sect in the 14C, with a community settling here in 1352. This religious sect, founded in the 14C, is similar to Catharism in that it was hostile to the Church hierarchy and emphasised poverty and humility. One of the specific features of the ""Giovannali"" is that they only followed the gospel of St John. A superb bell tower, rebuilt in the 19C, stands on its own near the church. With a square base, the bell tower has three levels of gemelled bays. Traces of San Quilico church can be seen in the space between the bell tower and Saint Jean-Baptiste church. The façade of the church has much the same composition as that of Santa-Maria-Figaniella - the only difference is that the row of redans above the modillions is replaced here with human figures and geometric patterns.
