Perhaps the most famous baptistery in Italy! Incredibly harmonious, well-proportioned, and beautiful! It is decorated with multicolored marble and decorated with sculptures, but Ghiberti's "Gates of Paradise" is especially valuable - it is a masterpiece in the art of sculpture, which many creators have been guided by and continue to be guided by.

The Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence is an elegant Romanesque octagon lined with white and green marble. Inside is a dazzling dome with gold mosaics from the 13th—14th centuries depicting the Day of Judgment and biblical scenes. Ghiberti's bronze "Gates of Paradise" and Pisano's doors are masterpieces of world sculpture. Dante was baptized here, and today the building remains a spiritual and artistic symbol of the city. My recamendosion.
