Arco de Santo Domingo, Historic Catholic site and church in Murcia, Spain
The Arco de Santo Domingo is a Renaissance-style arch with refined stonework that spans between the Almodóvar Palace and the Rosary Chapel. The structure displays complex craftsmanship and defines the character of Santo Domingo Square in central Murcia.
The arch originated in the 13th century as part of the Santo Domingo Church and underwent major reconstruction in the 18th century. This renovation gave it its current Renaissance form and established it as a key feature of the square.
The arch links a palace to a chapel in the heart of Murcia, shaping how people move through Santo Domingo Square. Visitors can see how this passage between sacred and secular spaces remains central to daily life in the area.
The structure stands on Santo Domingo Square in the city center and remains freely accessible year-round. It is located near several important buildings and easy to reach on foot from surrounding areas.
The site is closely tied to Saint Vincent Ferrer, who delivered sermons here in 1411 and left a lasting impression on local people. This religious episode shaped how the place came to be understood as an important gathering point for spiritual gatherings.
