Santi Domenico e Sisto, Baroque church in Monti district, Rome, Italy

The church stands on the Quirinal Hill with a grand double staircase leading to its entrance and four statues adorning its facade.

Construction of the church began in 1569 under Pope Pius V and continued for several decades until its completion in 1663.

The church serves as the main religious center for the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, hosting academic ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors need advance arrangements to enter the church except during public functions, with complete closure during university summer breaks.

The ceiling displays the Apotheosis of St. Dominic, painted by Domenico Maria Canuti in 1674, among numerous Renaissance artworks.
