Siena - Battistero di San Giovanni
The Baptistery of San Giovanni is located underneath the eastern bays of the choir of the Duomo. It was built between 1316 and 1325.
In the center of the rectangular hall is this hexagonal baptismal font in bronze, marble and vitreous enamel. It was created between 1417-1431 and it must have been an artistic sensation (still is one!), as it was done by the main sculptors of the time. Among them Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Jacopo della Quercia.
The panels represent the Life of John the Baptist.
