Once connected to the cathedral by a semicircular vaulted corridor, the baptistery is a beautiful building situated in the narrow streets of Venasque.

The baptistery was part of the first list of classified monuments in 1840. It was rebuilt in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and restored in the nineteenth century by the Historic Monuments.
