In via San Domenico, along the perimeter of the sixteenth-century walls, the complex of San Domenico now shows its late baroque style in the church and in the convent. The façade of the church, restored in 1674 and rebuilt in 1794, exhibits two orders, one on top of the other: the lower one marked by a sequence of responds, the upper one with a cornice bending in the middle. On top, a tall pediment with side scrolls. The interior, in the shape of a Greek cross, the naves covered by barrel vaults and a vaulted dome on spherical pendentives. It houses some seventeenth-century paintings and some valuable icons on nineteenth-century altars in the arms of the transept.
Nowadays the church is run by the arch-confraternity of the Rosary while the convent, converted into the Revenue Office building, preserves its eighteenth-century façade with two nice coats of arms.
