Lateran Baptistery
Octagonal in shape, it was built under Emperor Constantine with the name San Giovanni in Fonte. The splendid interior is modulated by eight columns in porphyry and eight smaller columns in marble, placed around the precious baptismal bath of green basalt. The chapels are of great interest as well, such as that of San Venanzio with its mosaics from 640, partly covered by a baroque altar.
