St. John's Church

Italy

St. John's Church

A smaller, less spectacular church near Saint Peter's. There is a nice altar inside, and unlike most Riga churches, this one is free. The altar is from the Renaissance period and depicts the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. The ceiling is from the Gothic period, and has 5 separate vaulted

compartments. There is also a huge pipe organ, and many stained glass windows. This church dates back to the mid 1200s.
