Pisa - Cappella di Sant'Agata
Just behind San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno (previous upload) is the small Cappella di Sant'Agata, erected from bricks by the monks of the convent around 1063, but the first written attestation is from 1132.
If the octagonal chapel with the pointed roof, would have been used as a baptistery, it would have been built opposite the main portal of the basilica - and not in the "backyard".
Upto the end of WWII the Cappella di Sant'Agata was surrounded by a cloister.

The chapel is dedicated to Agatha of Sicily and I found some information, that the chapel was built to celebrate the Norman conquest of the city of Palermo, but that happened in 1072. So it may celebrate the conquest of Sicily (1061–1091) led by Norman brothers Robert Guiscard and Roger Bosso (later "Roger I of Sicily") from Hauteville in Normandy.
