About
San Domenico Basilica, tucked in the historic heart of Arezzo, is a stunning Romanesque gem that dates back to the late 13th century. Its single nave and soaring arches shelter a remarkable collection of medieval art, most famously the marble Crucifix by Cimabue (1265‑1268). The basilica’s serene interiors and rich iconography offer a profound glimpse into Dominican devotion and Italy’s artistic heritage, while its central piazza makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Arezzo’s famed streets and landmarks.
