About The Lateran Baptistery

The Lateran Baptistery, located in Rome, Italy, is one of the oldest and most important baptisteries in Christendom. Built in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine next to the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, it served as the official baptistery of the Roman Church. The octagonal structure, crowned with a dome, features beautiful mosaics, marble columns, and a central baptismal font used for full-immersion baptisms. Rich in history and symbolism, the baptistery represents the early Christian emphasis on purification and rebirth. It remains a sacred site and a remarkable example of early Christian architecture in the heart of Rome.
