Chiesa di San Domenico

The Church of San Domenico, closed for damages reported after the earthquake of 2012, is an interesting example of local baroque, built in the eighteenth century, next to the eponymous convent demolished where the Inquisition had its headquarters and where they held their processes and executions.

One of the most beautiful churches in Ferrara, finally under renovation, but risked falling.

Very nice on the outside. Sin is closed for some time. Let's wait to be reopened
