San Domenico, Arezzo, Minor basilica in Arezzo, Italy.
The Basilica features a Gothic architectural style with an asymmetrical facade and a large single nave decorated with medieval frescoes throughout its walls.
The Dominican friars initiated the construction of San Domenico in 1275, with local families Ubertini and Tarlati supporting its completion in the 14th century.
The interior walls display numerous frescoes by Spinello Aretino, including Stories of Saints Philip and James, representing the Tuscan painting traditions.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours focusing on the medieval artworks, including Cimabue's renowned Crucifix from 1265.
The main chapel houses one of Cimabue's earliest masterpieces, a Crucifix measuring 336×267 cm, which marks a departure from Byzantine artistic traditions.
