The Church of the Dominican Fathers, located in Caramanico’s historic center, dates back to the 13th century and belonged to the Dominican monastery until the 18th century, when the order was suppressed, and the building was repurposed. Today, the church is deconsecrated and serves as an auditorium for exhibitions and events, though its interior remains well preserved. Following the 1706 earthquake, the church was restored in a Neoclassical style, featuring a single rectangular nave, a barrel vault with lunettes, and niches that once housed statues of saints.
The richly decorated 14th-century Gothic exterior has made it comparable to the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The former monastery, accessible from the back, retains an 18th-century façade, with symmetrical windows and a cloister garden. The entrance portal, framed in white stone with a sculpted coat of arms, is an element of great historical significance.
