Chapel of St John the Baptist
This little 5th century chapel is on the right as you enter from the piazza. The doors to the chapel are contemporary with it, and are said to be made of an alloy of bronze, silver and gold. The chapel's interior was entirely remodelled in 1780. The altar aedicule has a pair of spirally fluted green serpentine columns with gilded bases and capitals. which flank a bronze statue of the saint.
