- The Baptistery of St. John - The Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista is a renowned religious edifice in Florence, located in Piazza San Giovanni, directly opposite the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Dedicated to the city’s patron saint, it served for centuries as the baptismal site for Florentines and was the venue for the investiture of knights and poets, including Dante.
Visitors can admire the Gates of Paradise, the Baptistery’s main entrance. Known as Porta del Paradiso in Italian, these doors were crafted by Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1425 and 1452 and installed in the Baptistery’s eastern portal. The Gates have been lauded by artists and art historians for their vivid depictions of Old Testament scenes. Over time, the seventeen-foot-tall, three-ton bronze doors have become a Renaissance icon and one of the world’s most celebrated artworks.
