Baptisterij v Ogleju in Südhalle

Baptisterij je iz 4. in 5. stoletja. Južna dvorana, znana kot Südhalle, je del muzejske zgradbe, v kateri je mogoče občudovati talni mozaik in dragoceni "mozaik s pavom".

The baptistery most likely dates back to the late 4th or early 5th century, however, it has undergone much renovation work over the years, which has changed its appearance. Inside, the baptismal font was used for baptisms by immersion, as was customary at the time.

On the north and south sides of the baptistery, there were two rectangular mosaic rooms, probably used for preparing catechumens. Today, the south room of the baptistery, known as the Südhalle, is incorporated into a specifically built museum building, allowing visitors to admire the mosaic floor and the precious "peacock" mosaic, which originally decorated an apse of the narthex, the long passage that led from the baptistery to the basilica.
