Lonely Planet review for Battistero

Antelami was responsible for the octagonal pink-marble battistero on the south side of the piazza del duomo. Combining Romanesque and Gothic styles, it features some of Antelami’s best work, including a cele­brated set of figures representing the months, seasons and signs of the zodiac. Work began on the baptistry in 1196 but wasn’t completed until 1307 thanks to several interruptions, most notably when the supply of pink Verona marble ran out.
