Sant Nicolau de Girona, Romanesque church in Girona, Spain.

The Sant Nicolau church features a single nave with three-lobed chancel and an octagonal dome in the transept, decorated with Lombard arches between lesenes.

Initially constructed as a circular church in 1135, Sant Nicolau served as a funerary chapel for the monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants before changing functions.

The structure underwent transformations from religious space to leather warehouse and sawmill before the Girona city council acquired it for preservation in 1936.

Located on Santa Llucia Street in central Girona, the church contains exhibitions of modern art and remains open for religious activities throughout the year.

The building retains three of its original four apses, with the fourth one removed during structural modifications in the twelfth century.
