    A circular building, located between the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral of Pisa, occupies a prominent position in the center of the Miracle Square. The lower-level components of the building are loose and the upper are dense, forming beautiful rhythms.

    The Baptist Church of Pisa is the first circular building on the left hand side after entering the square by the main entrance. It was built in 1153. It features a large dome 35 meters in diameter and four finely carved gates in Roman and Gothic styles. As soon as you enter the interior, you can see a large baptism like a bathtub, which is used to soak the body in water for baptism

    The exterior of the Baptist Church is a semicircular dome building with a red top and white main structure. A very large building. The Baptist Church and the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the main church stand on the Miracle Square. It is very shocking to see and worth a visit.

    大多数游客来到Pisa总是以斜塔为主,其实一旁的大教堂及洗礼堂也都不容错过,洗礼堂内部的音响及采光效果都非常棒,每30分钟会有诗歌吟唱,效果实在让人震惊,内部正中间有个精致的木质讲坛,也是深具历史之作。

    The Baptist Church was built in the 12th century AD and its pulpit dates back to 1260. The Baptist Church was Roman-style, but some later works were also Gothic. The circular Baptist church has a bronze statue of John the Baptist of3.3 meters high on the dome. Tickets are purchased in advance by reservation to enter the Baptist Church.
