Opera del Duomo Museum and Battistero
On Sunday September 6th, 2026; time 11.00 (Approximately)
Visit to Opera del Duomo Museum and Battistero.
The Florence Baptistery (Battistero), also known as the Baptistery of Saint John (Battistero di San Giovanni), is a religious building in Florence. Dedicated to San Giovanni, who is the patron of the city, it has been a focus of religious, civic, and artistic life since its completion. The Baptistery has an octagonal form, and it is located in both the Duomo Square and the San Giovanni Square.
Nowadays the scholarly consensus, based on its construction technique and architectural style, is that the origins of the Baptistery are to be found in the 11th or 12th century.

Istituto Degli Innocenti, Piazza SS. Annunziata 12, Firenze, time 8.00-11.00pm
With its famous loggia on Piazza SS. Annunziata, this monumental complex, home of the Institute, has been acknowledged as one of the earliest examples of Italian Renaissance architecture. The 'factory' designed by Brunelleschi was conceived with such far-sightedness that it fulfilled, also thanks to subsequent extensions, the various functions that are still housed there today. It is almost a miniature city, with internal and external passageways, façades, porticoes, courtyards, loggias and galleries. A city organically integrated into the urban context.
