Poggio Bustone. Church of St John Baptist

The fourteenth century church of St John Baptist is bigger than the original medieval building of Poggio Bustone.

Inside you can admire a fifteenth-century fresco depicting St. Francis receiving the stigmata.

Under the main altar are the relics of San Felice Martire.

According to legend, the relics of the body of San Felice was carried on a cart pulled by oxen that spontaneously came to the castrum of Poggio Bustone.
