Basilica of San Domenico

The Basilica of San Domenico holds the tomb of Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican order, who died here in 1221. Consecrated in 1251 and remodelled in Baroque style in 1728–1732, it keeps his marble shrine, the Arca di San Domenico, begun by Nicola Pisano's workshop and later given figures by Niccolò dell'Arca and the young Michelangelo.
