St. Johannes im Kreuzgang, Romanesque chapel in Brixen, Italy.
The church building stands at the southwest corner of Brixen Cathedral precinct, featuring a high nave with a steep Gothic tent roof and octagonal chancel.
The chapel dates from the 10th century during the first cathedral construction phase and served as both a baptismal chapel and episcopal court chapel.
The interior walls display Romanesque frescoes from the 13th century, presenting theological symbolism through Old and New Testament wisdom with allegorical figures.
Visitors enter through the third arcade of the cloister at 2 Via Hartwig in Bressanone, with access available during regular cathedral opening hours.
A large red marble baptismal font shaped like a chalice, constructed before 1038, remains a central feature of the chapel interior.
