An ancient place of worship of the Arians, a heresy that claimed that the nature of Christ was not completely divine. Built under Theodoric in the 6th century, the building has an octagonal shape with absidioles. Like the other monuments, it has beautiful mosaics, including a Baptism of Christ in its dome. Arianism, a theological doctrine condemned at the first Council of Nicaea in 325 and qualified as heresy, continued to impose itself in the East and among the Germanic peoples until the 6th century.

Un petit batistère très ancien dont l'intérieur de la coupole est recouvert de belles mosaïques représentant le batême du Christ. Le prix de l'entrée est doux et se paye dans une sorte d'horodateur à l'extérieur.
