Battistero Riva San Vitale

One of the oldest places of Christianity. This is an octagonal-shaped building erected on the foundations of a villa or Roman thermal baths and dates back to the 5th century.

The round font, from the Middle Ages, dominates the older octagonal-shaped one. The mosaic floor visible inside is the original, the frescoes date back to the end of the 12th century.
