Basilica of San Domenico.

 

2 of 5

 

The Basilica of San Domenico is home of the Dominican order.

 

The church consists of a central nave, two lateral aisles, several side chapels, a transept, a choir and an apse.

 

The interior was completely renewed in Baroque style with refined elegance and well-balanced proportions by the architect Carlo Francesco Dotti (1678–1759).

 

The Basilica of San Domenico (Basilica di San Domenico) is one of the richest churches in Bologna in art history and was erected by the Dominican Friars as a place to store the remains of San Domenico di Guzman, founder of the order and who arrived in Bologna around 1200. Inside there are priceless works of art by authors such as Guercino, Filippino Lippi and Ludovico Carracci.
