San Nicola, Romanesque church in Ottana, Italy.
The church features a dark basalt facade with three tiers of false loggias and ceramic plates embedded at the top of the structure.
Consecrated in 1160 by Bishop Zaccaria, San Nicola served as the cathedral of Ottana diocese until its suppression in 1503.
The interior contains valuable artworks including a wooden crucifix from the 1500s and a polyptych depicting scenes from Saints Francis and Nicholas.
The church stands on a hill overlooking Ottana, with guided visits available to explore its architectural details and religious artifacts.
The facade incorporates alternating black and red stones in diamond patterns, creating a distinctive visual effect characteristic of Sardinian architecture.
