The church of San Domenico is located a few meters from Piazza del Popolo and Corso Cavour in the Teatro Mancinelli area (which can be quickly accessed via Via Felice Cavallotti). Of the original convent complex (one of the first churches built by the Dominican order), today only an intact part remains and there is no longer any trace of the ancient cloister that was probably located in front of the current Gothic facade of this church. In fact, a large part of the building and the entire religious complex was demolished in the fascist era to make room for the construction of the Women's Military Academy (one of the first in Italy).

Inside the church, however, a work of great value is still preserved today, created in 1285 by Arnolfo di Cambio: the funerary monument to Cardinal de Braye, for which "pieces" of an ancient Roman sarcophagus were also used, such as the "statue of the Madonna". Another highlight inside the church is the Petrucci Chapel, which features the only existing example in the city of a 16th-century majolica terracotta floor. In front of the Church of San Domenico, there is also a small children's playground and a very central car park.
