The correct answer is b. Florence Baptistry (the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence).

Quick Scoop

  • The Gates of Paradise are the famous gilded bronze doors designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti for the east door of the Florence Baptistery (Battistero di San Giovanni), right by the Duomo in Florence.
  • They are not in the Medici cathedral, the Brancacci Chapel, or any “Brancacci baptistry,” which does not exist as a separate monument.

So, if you see the multiple-choice question:

where are the gates of paradise located?
a. medici cathedral
b. florence baptistry
c. brancacci chapel
d. brancacci baptistry

Pick b. Florence baptistry.

These doors were considered so beautiful that Michelangelo is said to have nicknamed them the “Gates of Paradise.”

TL;DR: The Gates of Paradise = Ghiberti’s bronze doors on the east side of the Florence Baptistery. ✅
