"Es el baptisterio más grande de Italia. Su perímetro mide 107,25 metros. Contando la estatua de San Juan Bautista (atribuida a Turino di Sano) en la parte superior de la cúpula, su altura es 54,86 m, unos centímetros más alta que la Torre Inclinada. El espesor de los muros en la base es 2,63 m.
Presenta una curiosa cúpula troncocónica, similar a la de la iglesia pisana del Santo Sepulcro, de los Caballeros Hospitalarios del mismo autor. La técnica constructiva de las cúpulas semiesféricas o poligonales era casi desconocida en esa época."

"It is the largest baptistery in Italy. Its perimeter measures 107.25 meters. Counting the statue of Saint John the Baptist (attributed to Turino di Sano) at the top of the dome, its height is 54.86 m, a few centimeters higher taller than the Leaning Tower. The thickness of the walls at the base is 2.63 m.
It has a curious truncated conical dome, similar to that of the Pisan church of the Holy Sepulchre, of the Knights Hospitaller by the same author. "The construction technique of hemispherical or polygonal domes was almost unknown at that time."
