Dominican church

The Dominican church with the old cloister are about one hundred metres west of the cathedral in Piazza Domenicani (Dominican Square). Built around 1270, they were one of the first Gothic buildings in South Tyrol.

The chapel of St. John, the chapel of St. Catherine and the cloister are of great artistic importance due to the rich and splendid frescoes of the Gothic School of Padova (first half of the XIV Century). In particular, the frescoes found in the Chapel of Saint John can be considered the "jewels" of Gothic picture in Bolzano and South Tyrol.

The frescoes by Friedrich Pacher (1496) in the charming cloister are also of particular importance.
