San Giovanni in Laterano Baptistery

The battistero (baptistery) is where the first Christian baptisms took place in Rome. Like the basilica, the baptistery was built under Emperor Constantine and both structures have been remodelled several times over the centuries, not always to favourable effect. The chapels of Saint Rufina, Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Venanzio are all noteworthy for their beautiful mosaics.
