The Church of San Domino is located in the Genuri countryside.

It stands near the parish church of Santa Maria and is surrounded by a large green area that separates it from the surrounding area.

Based on its architectural style, it is believed to have been built in the 15th century, almost contemporaneously with that of San Marco Evangelista.

Due to its status as a listed building, extensive restoration work was necessary in the 1990s. Today, the church presents itself as it was restored.

The structure is simple and consists of a single nave, to which a small building was added on the right side in the 19th century. This building serves as a sacristy and partially encloses two of the three buttresses that support the church on each side.

The flat-topped façade is characterized by well-hewn stone blocks and is flanked by a wall on which the bell gable with two arches, also added in the 19th century, rises.

The church is characterized by its extreme simplicity and the absence of any distinctive architectural elements.

Inside, an important decorative element has been preserved: a very original small altar in painted stone, consisting of a base supporting a niche with an architrave between two columns with capitals, framed by the symbols of the four evangelists and two medallions bearing Christ's monogram. A Latin inscription runs along the architrave, decorated with dentils.
