【比萨洗礼堂】是由正门走进广场后位于左手边的第一幢圆形建筑物,就是始建于1153年的洗礼堂。采用罗马式和哥德式混台风格,拥有一个直径 35公尺的巨大圆顶,和四座雕刻精致的大门。内部一进去就能看见的是好像浴缸一样的大洗礼盆,是用来将身体浸水接受洗礼的
洗礼堂的外观是一个半圆形的穹顶建筑,红色的顶白色的主体结构。非常庞大的一个建筑。洗礼堂和比萨斜塔还有主教堂矗立在奇迹广场上,亲眼看到非常震撼,值得一去。
大多数游客来到Pisa总是以斜塔为主,其实一旁的大教堂及洗礼堂也都不容错过,洗礼堂内部的音响及采光效果都非常棒,每30分钟会有诗歌吟唱,效果实在让人震惊,内部正中间有个精致的木质讲坛,也是深具历史之作。
