This chandelier of the Dominican fiars from the early 16th century was recently cleaned and gips that had covered some unusual pictures exposed. what the baptism was and mixed with the traditional images of the 4 evangelists, the 12 signs of the animal circle appear, which live an affinity between the Catholic artists of time and astronomy.
The church and convent of Order of Preachers was founded in Santo Domingo in1510. In the past time, the convent housed the first university in Latin America. Due to numerous armed conflicts, earthquakes, hurricanes, fate did not treat this beautiful building with tenderness. However, the church structure remains in proper condition. The Church houses wonderful Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, the patron saint of the Order of Preachers. I visited in December 2014.
