Basilica di San Nicolò, Minor basilica in Lecco, Italy.

The building features a neoclassical facade with six Corinthian columns facing Lake Como and contains three naves leading to a semicircular apse.

The structure evolved from an 11th-century church, underwent baroque modifications in the 17th century, and received its neoclassical facade between 1831 and 1862.

The interior displays ten square frames depicting Gospel episodes by Casimiro Radice and fourteen bronze panels representing the Via Crucis by Enrico Manfrini.

The basilica maintains its original 12th-century baptistery chapel, which houses a baptismal font from 1596 and contains 14th-century frescoes.

The neo-Gothic bell tower, constructed from 1902 to 1904, reaches 96 meters in height and stands among the tallest church towers in Italy.
