Baptistry
The chapel is vaulted by a shallow dome with a lantern. The opening for the lantern, again with rounded corers, is turned at a forty-five-degree angle to the square of the chapel, a solution that is unusual in Roman architecture. This rather large and airy lantern admits the light that illuminates brightly the small baptistery.
