Description
6th STOP: Baptistery (GPS spot)
We are in front of the octagonal baptistery, which was built in the north east corner of the Episcopal Church which belonged to an older early Christian church. The built baptismal font is placed on the east side of the baptistery and not in the center, to give some space to the people who participate in the mystery.
Can you find the baptismal font and describe its shape?

YES

Well done. You are in front of the octagonal baptistery. It is carefully built with worked stones in successive layers. Plaster was used as a binder and flattened stone slabs were placed at the joints for greater cohesion. From the outside the octagon is normal with 2.40 m side. Inside there are variations, as its walls are not of equal width. The entrance leads to the north aisle of the church and has a width of 1.27 m. Three windows are on the east north and west sides. Later the entrance to the temple was walled and the western window was turned into an entrance opening. This probably means the discontinuation of the baptistery use. The built baptismal font is placed on the east side of the baptistery and not in the center, to give some space to the participants comfort in mystery.

It doesn’t matter. Maybe a mistake was made with the identification of the location.

It is cross-shaped and the three of the four edges of the antennas are rounded.
