Cremona Baptistery, Romanesque baptistery next to Cathedral in Cremona, Italy.
The octagonal structure features bare brickwork walls, marble coverings, and a 1531 baptismal font within its religious architecture design.
Construction of the baptistery began in 1167, demonstrating the architectural preferences of northern Italy during the medieval period.
The baptistery contains wooden statues of Saint Philip Neri and Saint John the Baptist, created by sculptor Giovanni Bertesi.
Visitors can explore the baptistery as part of the Cathedral complex tour, located at Piazza Sant'Antonio Maria Zaccaria in Cremona.
The ceiling holds a 12th-century statue of Archangel Gabriel, while a 14th-century crucifix stands above the Saint John altar.
