Arian Baptistry, Baptistery in Italy
The Arian Baptistery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Ravenna, Italy.
Constructed in the 5th century, the baptistery played a pivotal role in the Arian controversy during the early days of Christianity.
The mosaic decorating the dome that depicts the Baptism of Christ is a significant representation of Italian religious artistry.
Today, it functions as a religious museum and is a key point of interest for those visiting Ravenna.
It's one of the few surviving structures from the era when Arianism was dominant.
