San Domenico, Orvieto, Gothic church in Orvieto, Italy

The church features alternating black and white stone construction with a bifore window on its remaining transept facade at Piazza Ventinove Marzo.

Construction started in 1233, making it one of the first Dominican churches in Italy, with consecration by Pope Urban IV in 1264.

The tomb of Cardinal Guillaume De Braye, created by Arnolfo di Cambio, displays a Madonna statue incorporating a Roman sculpture from 200 BCE.

The entrance to San Domenico sits near Via Roma parking facilities, providing convenient access to visitors exploring Orvieto's religious monuments.

The church preserves the original desk where Thomas Aquinas taught theology during his stay in Orvieto between 1263 and 1264.
