Battistero Neoniano

Baptistery Ravenna, Italy

The Neonian Baptistery, also known as the Orthodox Baptistery, is located in Ravenna and dates back to the 5th century. It takes its name from the bishop Neone who had its construction continued after his predecessor Orso. The appellation of the orthodox should instead be understood according to the meaning of the time, which meant Christians of "right" doctrine as opposed to the Arian heresy.
