The Baptistery of Saint-Jean located in Poitiers is a very old Christian monument, whose origin dates back to the second half of the fourth and beginning of the fifth century. Although it has been extensively remodelled over the centuries, it is the building that best illustrates the dependence of Merovingian architecture on its ancient foundations, but also the abandonment of classical principles. Saved from demolition in 1834, it has been the subject of numerous excavation campaigns resulting in controversial syntheses. It contains a museum space with the Merovingian collections of the Society of Antiquaries of the West.
