Neonian Baptistery in Ravenna .
The Catholic (or Orthodox) Baptistery in Ravenna Italy. Hotel near Neonian Baptistery.
Photo: 1)entry side of the Baptistery, 2)back side of the Baptistery; left side, the Dome, 3)roman marmoreal fragment of the III century on the entry side, 4)Detail of the cupola mosaics, 5)the font, 6)detail of the Apostles' procession
This Orthodox baptistery creates a “unicum” within the realms of Paleochristian Byzantine art, since no other baptismal building in the late ancient world managed to maintain so perfectly both architectural structure and interior decoration, composed of marble, stuccoes and mosaics.
Extraordinary is the mosaic decoration that represents the most ancient legacy coming from a scene of the Baptism of Christ, expressed in mosaic in a monumental structure.
Its construction began around the first half of the 5th century and was completely finished around the year 450 and can be considered one of the oldest buildings in Ravenna.
It is a simple building of octagonal structure.
