Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Palazzo Pretorio

The Piazza del Duomo is lined by medieval buildings. The "Palazzo Pretorio" is to the right, next to the impressive campanile, stands the "Battistero di San Giovanni in Corte". The construction of the octagonal baptistery started in 1303. The building, completed in 1361, is 40 metres high. The exterior is entirely covered with white and green marble. Once here was a lombard church, named "Santa Maria in Corte". It got demolished and replaced by the baptistery, leaving an addition to the name of the "Battistero di San Giovanni in Corte".
