San Domenico, Gothic church in Renaissance Square, Urbino, Italy
The San Domenico church stands in front of the Ducal Palace, featuring a Renaissance portal made of travertine with fluted columns and Corinthian capitals.
The construction of San Domenico began in 1362 under the Dominican Order, marking an early example of Gothic religious architecture in the Marche region.
The portal displays a terracotta reproduction of 'Madonna with Child and Saints' by Luca della Robbia, while the original resides in Galleria Nazionale delle Marche.
The interior of the church underwent major modifications in 1737 by architect Filippo Barigioni, with potential influence from Luigi Vanvitelli's design principles.
The church incorporates architectural elements from both Gothic and Renaissance periods, including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and decorative stone carvings throughout its structure.
