This is a very early photo of the Santo Domingo Church showing most of the old church.  Most of these walls were either destroyed on purpose or collapsed in time.  As you will see in the series of photos in the presentation, only the area where the flat arch is exists today.  This photo also shows the many arches described in the John O. Collins narrative on the main page.  This must have been a magnificent church prior to the 1756 fire!
