baptistry
the baptistery (battistero) is the largest of its kind in italy. like so many buildings in italy, it was started in one style and finished in another; the first three tiers are romanesque whilst the pinnacled layer supporting the unusual dome is gothic and was added in the latter half of the 13th century.
perhaps the most striking feature of the interior is its simplicity and lack of decoration. if you are lucky, you will be treated to a demonstration of the incredible acoustics - try to latch on to a group or tour.
