The Church of San Domenico of Noto Syracuse Sicily


The Church of San Domenico is a religious architecture of Noto, the most important and best preserved examples of Baroque Netino.

It was built as a church convent of the Dominicans, already present in ancient Noto, by the architect Rosario Gagliardi, between 1703 and 1727.

The façade has two orders, Doric on the first and second ion, and the body leans toward the street with a convex shape.

The interior is well preserved, is structured in five domes, richly decorated with stucco and side altars with eighteenth-century paintings.

The former convent, now a school, it was largely rebuilt except in the wing to the south where it is a portal site of ashlar Sinatra.
