Review:
Situated along one side of popular San Domenico Maggiore Piazza, a popular tourist hub, is San Domenico Maggiore, arguably Naples’s most beautiful church. This 14th century church (completed in 1324) is home to a large convent complex and monastery, where Saint Thomas Aquinas studied. A major highlight here is just past the Saint’s Chapel (one of 24 chapels) in the nave’s sacristy, where visitors will see the fresco Triumph of Faith over Heresy by the Dominicans, painted on the ceiling by Francesco Solimena. Other highlights include fragments of Giotto-esque frescoes dating to the 14th century, sculptures from the 16th century, and a baroque ceiling and high altar from the 17th century.
