Piazza San Domenico Maggiore in Naples is home to the Church of San Domenico Maggiore, a Gothic-style church and monastery founded by the Dominican Order. The square is known for its historical significance and architectural beauty, with a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles. It's a popular spot in the city, bordered by the famous "Spaccanapoli" street and featuring an obelisk topped by a statue of Saint Dominic. The church has a rich history, including being the original seat of the University of Naples and housing the remains of prominent figures like Blessed Raymond of Capua. The square also boasts a "Treasure Chamber" showcasing relics, sacred ornaments, and historical artifacts, making it a must-visit destination for those exploring Naples.
