This is a special building designed for the rite of Baptism (Baptista in Latin - Baptist). Its walls are completely decorated with white, green and black marble. Attention is drawn to the Gates of Paradise, which are composed of gilded plates, which depict biblical stories. They were created by sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti in 1425-1452. The originals are now housed in the Duomo Museum, and copies are on display here.
