The Baptistery of San Giovanni is one of the oldest places of worship in Florence: in the Middle Ages it was thought to be a pagan temple of Roman times dedicated to Mars, later converted into a church.
It is characterized by a fascinating octagonal geometric structure and is entirely covered with white and green marble from Prato.
Stunningly beautiful, it is hard to imagine that a person could have imagined, drawn and built such a building so many years ago.
Whether the viewer is a believer or not, this building will not leave anyone indifferent.
