Quito iglesias & catedrales, Iglesia Santo Domingo

The Santo Domingo Church was built during  the 16th century in Cartagena, Colombia. It is  the oldest church in the city. It was firstly built in 1539 in Plaza de los Coches, but after a fire and was rebuilt in its present location in 1552. It has a wide central nave and  a heavy roof coverage.However the vault began to crack and solid counterforts had to be added in order to support the structure and prevent it from collapsing.
 There is a large space inside the interior. The remarkable statue of Christ made of  wood is set in the baroque altar at the head of the right hand aisle.On the floor you could see the 19th century pavings with old tombstones.
