Complesso di San Pietro in Consavia (Rotonda / Battistero)
Built between 1110 and 1130 in imitation of Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre, the brick Rotonda anchors a complex that housed the Knights of St John until 1798, with a 15th-century chapel of terracotta friezes and a cloister around a lawn. The site is currently closed for restoration; its exterior is visible from the street.
