Battistero Di San Giovanni

Facing the cathedral in Piazza del Duomo, the Baptistery of San Giovanni is one of Florence’s most ancient and sacred buildings, dating back to the 11th century. Its distinctive octagonal design, covered in white and green marble, is a stunning example of Florentine Romanesque architecture. Inside, the dome dazzles with gold Byzantine-style mosaics depicting scenes from the Bible and the Last Judgment. The Baptistery is also famous for its three magnificent bronze doors, especially the “Gates of Paradise” by Lorenzo Ghiberti, which Michelangelo himself admired. Rich in history and beauty, this extraordinary space has been the site of baptisms for centuries, including that of Dante Alighieri.
