Tomba di Rotari, Religious museum and baptistery in Monte Sant'Angelo, Italy
The Battistero di San Giovanni in Tumba features an octagonal design with an elliptical section and a high drum supporting a prominent cupola.
Built in the early 11th century by Pagano, a master from Siponto, and Rodelgrimo, a judge, the baptistery became part of the Sanctuary of Saint Michael.
The monument contains detailed reliefs above the entrance, decorated capitals on columns, and interior frescoes displaying medieval craftsmanship techniques.
The religious museum received 8,000 visitors in 2021, with access available near the colonnade of the Basilica of San Michele UNESCO site.
An Early Christian baptismal font remains in the southwestern corner, originating from the previous baptistery of the demolished San Pietro church.
