Baptistery
Baptistery
is 6th or 7th century architecture
dedicated to St. John and
covered with marble around
1059-1128. The octagonal drum
was rebuilt in the 11th century,
and by the 13th century it
had been clad in its characteristic
green-and-white Romanesque
stripes of marble and capped
with its odd pyramid-like
dome.

Santa
Maria della Carmine
Santa
Maria della Carmine church was
almost entirely reconstructed
and decorated in high baroque
style. Ever since a long and
expensive restoration of the
famous frescoes of the Cappella
Brancacci in the right transept,
they've blocked off just that
chapel and you have to enter
through the cloisters and pay
admission. |
