San Nicolò al Lido, Church building in Lido, Venice, Italy

The San Nicolò al Lido church features a single nave design supported by Corinthian columns and connects to a detailed floor mosaic pattern.

The original structure dates from 1053 under Doge Domenico Contarini, while the current building was reconstructed in 1627 with a baroque bell tower added between 1626-1629.

The church contains seventeenth-century reliefs depicting scenes from Saint Nicholas's life, along with paintings by Palma the Elder and Palma the Younger.

Located in the northernmost area of Venice's Lido, the church stands near a three-kilometer coastal stretch suitable for walking and cycling activities.

The building houses partial relics of Saint Nicholas, transported from Myra in Anatolia around 1100, leading to an ongoing dispute with the city of Bari.
