San Domenico, Palermo, Baroque church in La Loggia district, Palermo, Italy.
The church follows a Latin cross layout with three naves divided by sixteen monolithic columns made of Billiemi marble along its 89-meter length.
The original Dominican church from 1280 was replaced in 1640 by architect Andrea Cirrincione, with the Baroque facade completed in 1726.
Since 1853, the church has functioned as the Pantheon of Sicily, containing burial monuments and memorials of distinguished Sicilian personalities.
The church stands on Piazza San Domenico, which connects to Via Roma a few blocks south of Palazzo delle Poste in central Palermo.
The wooden choir from the early 1700s features numerous carved friezes and wooden bas-reliefs depicting Dominican saints and religious figures.
