Church of Santo Domingo, Ourense, Parish church in central Ourense, Spain
The church structure features a single nave with ribbed vaulting, leading to a dome supported by scallops at the transept crossing point.
The Dominican friars established this religious complex between 1643 and 1666 through the patronage of Domingo Rodriguez de Araujo from Spanish America.
The interior holds multiple Baroque altarpieces created by Francisco de Castro Canseco, incorporating gilded decorations and polychrome elements from the 18th century.
This religious building maintains regular hours for services and visits, with access through a granitic staircase that connects to Santo Domingo Street.
The mother of General Jose de San Martin, a key figure in South American independence, received burial within this church on March 29, 1813.
