San Domenico, Medieval church in Chieri, Italy.

San Domenico is a Gothic church and convent on Via San Domenico in Chieri, begun in the 14th century. Its facade is not flat but follows the line of the old city walls, and its walls carry protruding pilasters ending in spires. Inside, the columns show bicoloured horizontal striations.

The Dominicans were welcomed to Chieri at the end of the 13th century by the Broglia family. Construction of the church and convent began in the 14th century, and over the next hundred years chapels for wealthy families were added. The Dominican order still presides over the convent and church.

The interior walls feature religious figures and biblical scenes painted and carved across different artistic periods. These works show how the church has been a place of devotion for centuries in Chieri.

The church and convent stand on Via San Domenico 1, and the Dominican order still presides over both. The facade does not run straight: it follows the line of Chieri's old defensive walls, so look at how the pilasters and their spires step along it. The first chapel on the left holds copies of a Deposition by Gaudenzio Ferrari and a Guercino painting whose original is in San Domenico, Turin.

The church keeps a statue of Giuseppe Girotti, a priest ordained here who died at Dachau on 1 April 1945 and was beatified at Alba in April 2014. The Dominican order still presides over the convent and church on Via San Domenico.
