Église San Giovanni in Fonte

The San Giovanni in Fonte church features alternating rows of red bricks and white tuff stone in its exterior masonry construction pattern.

The baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte, constructed in 1123, stands as part of the Verona Cathedral complex and functions as its baptismal center.

The right apsidiole contains preserved frescoes from the first half of the 15th century, depicting religious scenes that reflect medieval Italian artistry.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and connects directly to the Verona Cathedral complex through its strategic position in the city center.

The baptismal font, dating from the early 9th century and restored in the 12th century, survived the earthquake of 1117 under Bishop Bernardo's direction.
