Perugia - San Domenico

"San Domenico" dates to 1304, when it was erected over a pre-existing church (known as San Domenico Vecchio), which had become too small after the growth of the Dominican Order. The church was consecrated in 1459.

Where on the right the "Basilica di San Pietro" can be seen, was the early seat of Perugia's bishops, existing since the seventh century. Around 1000 a monastery was established here. The church seen was erected around 1600 as the convent´s church.
