It is famous for its exquisite mosaics that combine classical and Byzantine styles. The chapel notably features depictions of Christ as a warrior, reflecting early Christian iconography, and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi) - The Neonian Baptistery is an early 5th-century octagonal structure celebrated for its exquisite early Christian mosaics, especially the dome illustrating the baptism of Jesus. As one of the city’s oldest monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it exemplifies the fusion of classical Roman architecture with emerging Christian art.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of early Christian art.
