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 baptistery next to the basilica was probably erected at the same time. In the center of the "Battistero di San Giovanni" is a rectangular room, "created" by the four apses, seen from outside. Looking down from the matronaeum on the second floor to one of the four apses.

In the center of the "Battistero di San Giovanni" is a rectangular room, "created" by the four apses, seen from outside. From the matronaeum on the second floor, women could watch the baptism. The walls look very rough, but there are some traces of plaster and paint.

Climbing up the stairs I felt like inside a nuraghe, but these megalithic buildings in Sardinia are thousands of years older than the baptistery.

Over the eight windows of the upper matronaeum are the four windows of the dome. Additional light comes from a bulb.

The Basilica di San Vincenzo is 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, whom he crowned with the Iron Crown of Lombardy. It is believed that a small paleochristian church had existed on this hill already in the 5th century. The basilica only has one aisle left. Having been abandoned for centuries, the church was deconsecrated sold and since then used as a farmhouse. In 1835 the right aisle collapsed. When the church got restored in the 1930s it was decided to to rebuild the aisle, but to close the right side by windows. Under the raised presbytery is a semicircular crypt. Frescoes here depict St. Vincent, to whom the church is dedicated. In the center of the crypt are these baroque reliquary shrines.
