Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano - San Giovanni in Laterano (English)

Japanese: サン・ジョバンニ・イン・ラテラノ大聖堂 - サンジョバンニインラテラノだいせいどう(英語表記)San Giovanni in Laterano
Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano - San Giovanni in Laterano (English)
A cathedral in Rome that was founded in early Christian times. In 313, Emperor Constantine the Great donated the Lateran Palace as a residence for the Archbishop of Rome, and a basilica was built there. Only parts of the original building remain, and the current basilica was almost entirely remodeled in the 17th century by Borromini and others. The appearance before the reconstruction can be seen in the murals of the Church of San Martino ai Monte in Rome. The attached Baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte was originally circular, but was remodeled to an octagonal plan by Pope Sixtus III (reigned 432-440).

Japanese:
ローマ市にある初期キリスト教時代創建の大聖堂。313年,コンスタンティヌス大帝はラテラノ宮殿をローマ大司教の居所として寄進し,そこにバシリカ式教会堂が建てられた。当時の建築は部分的にしか残らず,現在のバシリカは17世紀にボロミーニらによりほぼ全面的に改築されたもの。改築前の様子は,ローマのサン・マルティーノ・アイ・モンテ教会の壁画などからしのばれる。付属のサン・ジョバンニ・イン・フォンテ洗礼堂は,当初は円形プランであったが,教皇シクストゥス3世(在位432‐440)によって八角形プランに改築された。
