点评:The Baptistery is a landmark religious building in the city centre of Florence. Its history dates back over a thousand years but its origins are under much debate beyond that. What you see here is an octagonal-shaped building with a gorgeous exterior of inlaid marble and design known as Florentine Romanesque, matching up perfectly with Campanile di Giotto and Santa Maria del Fiori (also known as Duomo).
The interior is similar stylistically and includes impressive ceiling frescos. Of highest regard however are the two bronze doors of the Baptistery embedded with golden panels and these can be viewed just fine from the outside.
These are the works of Andrea Pisano (South Door 1330-1336) as well as Ghiberti (North Door 1403-24) & (East Door (1425-52). Dubbed the 'Gates of Paradise' by Michelangelo, the Ghiberti's East Door is considered a masterpiece of Florentine Renaissance.
Note: The bronze doors are usually the scene of fantastic crowds these days, those trying to enter Baptistery with tickets as well as many others simply taking pictures up close. Visit early in the morning or in the evening if you fancy a photo or two of the bronze doors unobscured.
Further note: If you want to enter Baptistery, you must have one of the Duomo combo passes that include the Baptistery.
翻译:洗礼堂是佛罗伦萨市中心的一座标志性宗教建筑。它的历史可以追溯到一千多年前,但除此之外,它的起源也备受争议。您在这里看到的是一座八角形的建筑,其外观华丽,镶嵌着大理石,设计被称为佛罗伦萨罗马式,与乔托钟楼和圣母百花大教堂(也称为大教堂)完美匹配。
内部风格相似,包括令人印象深刻的天花板壁画。然而,最受瞩目的是洗礼堂的两扇青铜门,上面嵌有金色面板,从外面可以很好地看到它们。
这些是安德烈亚·皮萨诺 (南门 1330-1336) 以及吉贝尔蒂 (北门 1403-24) 和 (东门 (1425-52)) 的作品。吉贝尔蒂的东门被米开朗基罗称为“天堂之门”,被认为是佛罗伦萨文艺复兴时期的杰作。
注意:如今,青铜门通常是人群聚集的地方,那些试图凭票进入洗礼堂的人,以及许多其他人只是近距离拍照。如果您想拍一两张没有被遮挡的青铜门的照片,请在清晨或傍晚参观。
进一步注意:如果您想进入洗礼堂,您必须拥有一张包含洗礼堂的大教堂组合通行证。
