Riez - Baptistery

Riez - Baptistery
The "Diocese of Riez" existed from the early 5th century upto the French Revolution. One of the first bishops was St. Maximus (433-460). Out of this time (5th or 6th century) is this baptistery, at the moment overgrown by trees - and (2010) closed, as under renovation. When it was constructed even older building material was reused. It belonged once to an early cathedral, which is long gone, and has a very interesting layout (seen only from inside. It is only about 100m away from the ruins of the roman Apollo-Temple.
