San Domenico, 18th century church in Ferrara, Italy

The San Domenico church presents an aisleless nave with five chapels on each side, displaying fragments of 18th-century frescoes by Giacomo Filippi.

The construction of San Domenico started in 1726 under architect Vincenzo Santini, replacing an older structure from 1274 that served as a center for medicine teachings.

The church facade exhibits statues by Andrea Ferreri representing Dominican saints Thomas Aquinas, Vincent, Pius V, and Antoninus in different positions.

The church building stands at Piazza Sacrati 10 in Ferrara, with geographical coordinates of 44.838262 latitude and 11.616247 longitude.

A pier inside the church displays marks that local traditions attribute to devil scratches made in response to hearing a confession.
