Church of the Priest Felix and the Baptistery of Kélibia

The Church of the Priest Felix and the Baptistery of Kélibia, or the Baptistery of the Priest Felix of Demna, are a building and an Early Christian baptismal font richly decorated with mosaics. It was discovered in the 1950s at Demna, in the Hammam Ghezèze delegation in Tunisia. The baptistery is a major piece in the Early Christian department of the Musée National du Bardo in Tunis, and represents, according to historian Christian Courtois, "one of the finest sets of Christian mosaics to have been found in Africa, and indeed, of its kind, in the entire Ancient Rome". At the beginning of the 21st century, this archaeological find remains particularly important, despite the discovery of the later Bekalta baptistery in the early 1990s. Along with this emblematic piece, the Demna site also delivered a collection of funerary mosaics, studied in their archaeological context, which also joined the collections of the same museum.
