Santo Domingo Church

This Dominican church dates back to the Reconquest of Murcia, and has maintained the canvas representation of the Battle of Lepanto. In the year 1270 King James I granted the Dominicans some land and built the Convent of Santo Domingo, Real Foundation, and its primitive church. The convent school was dedicated to Dominican students, and here they studied theology among other subjects. With the seizure it was demolished in the convent, and only the church was left standing. In the year 1886 the Confraternity of the Rosary yielded to the Jesuits, in order to rebuild the present church of Santo Domingo, the Society of Jesus taking care of his cult since.
