Byzantine baptistery with a small Swabian arch portal
The exact date of the construction of this Byzantine baptistery, leaning against the Cathedral of Santa Severina, with a circular plan with four arms, unique in Italy, is not known. The small pointed portal is from the Swabian period. The baptistery is covered by a small dome, supported inside by eight columns recovered from ancient buildings. The capitals are decorated with geometric motifs and inscriptions in Greek. The walls were covered with frescoes, some traces of which remain, including a 15th-century Saint Jerome.

Santa Severina est un lieu à l'écart des sites touristiques traditionnels. Pas de mer, pas de montagne, simplement, à quelques kilomètres de Crotone, un de ces lieux visités et revisités par des envahisseurs et des peuples qui les fuyaient, les sites reflètent l'influence grecque et albanaise. A quelques pas, une petite église d'un style très particulier
