Baptistry

The Battistero di San Giovanni Battista features solid stone walls, rounded arches, and geometric patterns characteristic of medieval religious architecture.

The baptistry stands as a testament to the religious architectural developments of the Lombardy region during the expansion of Christianity in medieval Italy.

This religious building maintains its original function as a baptismal site for the Roman Catholic community of Varese, following centuries-old traditions.

Located at Piazza Canonica 7, the baptistry welcomes visitors during regular church hours and remains an active part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milan.

The structure incorporates specific architectural elements of the Lombard Romanesque style, with particular attention to the proportions of its octagonal design.
