San Domenico is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic church and monastery located facing piazza XVI Maggio in the town of Noto (province of Syracuse) in the region of Sicily, Italy.

History

The church was erected between 1703 and 1727 using designs by Rosario Gagliardi. The interior has three naves with polychrome marble side altars. The interior has a rich stucco decoration. The third altar to the left depicts a sculpted crucifixion with scenes of the Passion. Others depict a St Dominic receiving the Holy Spirit and a Madonna of the Rosary (1712) by Vito D’Anna. The main altar has a depiction of the Madonna of the Rosary in a gilded wooden ciborium designed by Antonio Basile.[1]
