Galliano - Battistero di San Giovanni

Galliano - Battistero di San Giovanni
The Basilica di San Vincenzo and the Battistero di San Giovanni are on a hill in Galliano, just outside Cantù.

The church was consecrated in 1007, but that marks the end of a rebuilding process. This was sponsored by Ariberto da Intimiano, who was Bishop of Milano from 1018 on - and a strong supporter of Emperor Henry II and his successor Conrad II.

The large bastistery next to the basilica was probably erected at the same time.
