Battistero Review

The Baptist Church of Pisa, also known as St. John's Baptist Pool (Battistero di San Giovanni), is the Roman Catholic Church building in Pisa. It was built in 1152 and is the second ancient building on Pisa's Miracle Square (Piazza dei Miracoli), located between the cathedral and the bell tower. The bell tower is the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The Baptist Church was designed by Diotisalvi and can be seen on two pillars in the building, dated 1153.

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, also known as the Baptist Church of Saint John, is a circular building on the left side of Pisa's Miracle Square, a mixture of Roman and Gothic styles, especially the huge dome, which is 35 meters in diameter, particularly conspicuous.

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.

Most tourists come to Pisa always to the leaning tower. In fact, the cathedral and the baptism hall on the side are not to be missed. The sound and lighting effects inside the baptism hall are very good. Every 30 minutes there will be poetry singing. The effect is really shocking. There is a delicate wooden pulpit in the middle of the interior. It is also a historical work.

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.
