The Baptistry After Dark
The Florence Baptistry as seen in Piazza del Duomo in Florence Italy.  Built between 1059 and 1128, it is one of the oldest buildings in Florence and it was necessary for children to be baptized in this building before being allowed in Santa Maria Fiore (Duomo) next door.  Among the notable figures baptized in here was the poet Dante Alighieri - made famous again by the Dan Brown novel &quot;Inferno&quot;.
