The octagonal baptistery stands in ornamental and geometrical sobriety opposite the entrance to the Duomo. Dated somewhere between the end of the ninth and the start of the 10th century, it was considered to be the most beautiful monument, not just in the city, but in the entire world during the Middle Ages when the white and green marble was added to its exterior. The bronze doors date to the 14th and 15th centuries, their creation interrupted by the financial crisis and Black Plague in the 14th century.
