Elba Island - Marina di Campo - Museums and other places of cultural and historical interest

CAMPO NELL'ELBA AND IT'S CULTURE, HISTORY AND NATURE
	Chiesa di San Giovanni in Campo


Feature “L’Elba fra storia e leggenda – Itinerari ed altro” by Claudia Danesi, with the kind concession of publication from part of the Administration of Campo nell’Elba. For the images that we have drawn from photographic arches of the Agency for the tourism of the Tuscany Archipelago, the culture association La Torre, from Giorgio Giusti, from Mario Padani, we thanks the owners for the availability.

Between the villages of Chiessi and Pomonte, at 435 meters over the sea level, to the slopes of the Mount Capanne, the system of the ancient church can be still recognized, of which remain little squared rough drafts of stones, and it leave a part of the wall of the left flank. The building would seem to have been to rectangular plant, since you do not acknowledge the apse traces. The construction technique, for that it can be distinguished, it would be similar to that one of the other Romanesque churches on Elba island.
