The eighteenth-century church of Saint John the Baptist (San Giovanni Battista) was built on the ruins of the medieval castle of Gallinaro.
It is mentioned for the first time in the fourteenth century, as a chapel of the fortress.
In the sixteenth century there is another document relating to the donation by Prince Conca Matteo di Capua, owner of the Duchy of Alvito, who gave the town the castle to build the new church, the inaugurated in 1596.
The church was restored in 1700 and the bell tower with the clock was built.
The facade is decorated with floral motifs, a limestone rosette and a cherub.
The interior has a nave and two side chapels and, in the chapel of the Infant Jesus, a miraculous image is kept.
In the counter-facade is a splendid eighteenth-century organ with wooden choir.
