Saint Dominic Church

If we were to choose churches by importance this church one would surely be the second after the Palermo cathedral. It was firs erected in the 15th century but then was completely reconstructed in the mid 17th century so it can even be considered as if it dates back to the period of its latest reconstruction.

It is built in the barocco style. The front façade is marked by two bell towers.

The principal altar is built in marble. The church preserves some manuscripts and tombs of some notable people like the blessed Pietro Geremia, who was a Dominican writer from Palermo.

The interior of the church is nicely decorated, there are several chapels like the chapel dedicated to Mary (Cappella della Madonna), chapel of Saint Tommaso D´Aquino, chapel of Saint Joseph (Cappella di San Giuseppe), chapel os Saint Anna, chapel dedicated to Saint Domenico, to Vicenzo Ferrer…

In all these chapels one can see various works of art and spend an entire day looking at all the details.
