This unique building is one of the oldest in Florence and is renowned for its unusual octagonal shape and carved bronze doors with sculptures above them. The facade is decorated with green and white marble mosaics, making it a great example of Florentine Romanesque architecture.

The origins of the baptistery are still unknown, but it was probably built on the site of a Roman temple dating back to the 4th century AD. Since then, it was enlarged, remodeled and finally consecrated as a baptistery around the 12th century. Numerous notable people were baptized here, including the Medici family.

The interior is decorated with mosaics made of marble and it features many works of art, as well as tombs of important individuals. The tomb of Baldassare Cossa (Antipope John XXIII) was created by Donatello and Michelozzo in the 15th century.

The ticket allows the holder to visit the Cathedral, Cathedral Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, Baptistry, Crypt and the Opera Museum. It is valid for two days and each monument may be visited only once.
