Church and Convent of San Domenico

Church and Convent of San Domenico

Among the most important historical landmarks of Fiesole, you will find the Church and Convent of San Domenico. The complex was built between 1406 and 1435 and it’s located in the homonymous district on the outskirts of the Municipality of Fiesole, near to the Municipality of Florence.

It has gone down in history because it’s the place where the young friars Antonino Pierozzi, future Archbishop of Florence, and Giovanni da Fiesole, known as the Blessed Angelico, were trained.

Some of their works are preserved and exhibited in the Church and in Sala del Capitolo. Currently, the complex is partly used for conventual functions and partly serves as the headquarters of the European University Institute.
