San Nicola dei Greci, Gothic church in Altamura, Italy.
The church features a central rose window on its gabled facade, with sculptural decorations depicting stories from both testaments on the entrance.
Built in 1232 under Frederick II of Swabia, the church initially served the Greek Orthodox community until 1601 when it transitioned to Latin rites.
The interior contains six lateral chapels decorated with golden wooden altars, intricately carved details, and a painted stone statue of Saint Nicholas.
The church stands on Corso Federico II di Swabia, the main street of the historic center, near the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
The wooden ceiling from the 1600s displays detailed scenes from Saint Nicholas's life, complemented by a local stone baptismal font covered in bronze.
