Basilica of San Pietro de Dom, Early Christian basilica in Piazza del Duomo, Brescia, Italy

The building featured three naves divided by two colonnades containing fourteen columns made from marble and granite materials.

The basilica, constructed in the 7th century, endured multiple fires in 800 and 1096, along with earthquakes in 1117 and 1142.

The basilica contained notable artworks, including Vincenzo Foppa's Polyptych of the Blessed Sacrament from 1501 placed at the high altar.

The structure underwent extensive renovations between 1571 and 1581 under architect Giovanni Maria Piantavigna before its demolition.

The name 'de Dom' derives from the episcopal domus where bishops resided with urban clergy in the area behind the cathedrals.
