San Domenico, Minor basilica in Perugia, Italy

The largest religious building in Umbria features a Gothic architectural style with a double staircase leading to its main entrance portal.

Originally constructed in 1304, the basilica underwent major reconstruction between 1629 and 1632 under architect Carlo Maderno after structural collapse.

The interior holds the tomb monument of Pope Benedict XI and contains significant religious art, including works by Bartolomeo di Pietro.

Located in Piazza Giordano Bruno, the basilica connects to a cloister that houses the National Archaeological Museum of Umbria.

The church contains a monumental stained glass window measuring 21 by 8.5 meters, created by Bartolomeo di Pietro in 1411.
