Baptistry of Saint-Jean of Poitiers

Baptistry of Saint-Jean of Poitiers

The Baptistry of St. Jean at Poitiers (sixth century) has the form of a rectangle flanked by three apses. The original building has probably undergone a number of alterations but preserves in its decoration (marble capitals) a strong Merovingian character.
