Parish Church of S. Giovanni Battista

The Parish Church of S. Giovanni Battista rises about half a kilometer downstream of the Camplese hamlet of Molviano.

Historian Nicola Palma reports that the temple had ancient origins. In that place there was a small church of S. Croce, founded in 1619, following an alleged apparition of the Madonna to a shepherdess. The miraculous image of the Virgin was kept there.

For the numerous graces bestowed on, the bishop of Cample Giuseppe Falconi arranged for all the ex voto donated by the faithful to be used for the construction of a new and larger building. The first stone was placed on September 17, 1727 and the church was incorporated into the sacristy. The facade has a horizontal crown.

In the lunette of the portal with flat architrave, a ceramic mosaic from 1985 depicting the "Baptism of Christ". On the wall of the sacristy a bell gable with three bells. The interior, with a single nave, shows three recently restored Baroque altars; on the main altar a canvas depicting the Crucifixion, on the side seventeenth-century paintings representing the "SS. Anna and Gioacchino "and" S. Joseph and the Angel ".

In the counter-façade the plaque with the "Cross of Indulgences" granted by Pope Leo XIII in 1901. The parish of Molviano includes the chaplaincies of Paterno and Gagliano.
