Church San Nicolò, Dominican church in Treviso, Italy.

The San Nicolò Church extends 88 meters in length and reaches 33 meters in height, featuring three naves divided by cylindrical columns decorated with frescoes.

Construction of the church began in the 13th century with funding from Dominican friar Niccolò Boccalino, who later became Pope Benedict XI.

The church contains a notable 1352 fresco cycle by Tommaso da Modena depicting Dominican figures, including the first representation of eyeglasses in Italian art.

The church opens daily for visitors to observe the architectural details, medieval frescoes, and the 1778 Callido organ with painted doors.

During winter solstice, sunlight beams strike six medallions on the northern wall, demonstrating the medieval builders' astronomical knowledge.
