In Christian architecture the baptistery or baptistry (Latin baptisterium) is the separate centrally-planne d structure surrounding the baptismal font. The baptistery may be incorporated within the body of a church or cathedral and be provided with an altar as a chapel. In the early Christian Church, the catechumens were instructed and the sacrament of baptism was administered in the baptistery.
