San Niccolò church

San Niccolò church, Baroque church in Cortona, Italy.

San Niccolò church stands on Via San Niccolò in Cortona, facing a rectangular forecourt enclosed by the mountain on one side and a wall with a view on the other. A portico runs along the left flank and the facade, restored in 1930 from the remains of a 15th-century cloister. The interior, remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries, has three baroque altars and a coffered ceiling of 1768.

The church's history is tied to Bernardino of Siena, who founded the Compagnia di San Niccolò there in 1440; the confraternity still exists. The interior was completely reworked between the 17th and 18th centuries, and the portico was restored in 1930 from the remains of a 15th-century small cloister.

Inside, you can see a procession standard painted by Luca Signorelli showing the lamentation of Christ on one side and the Virgin Mary with Saints on the other. This artwork reflects the religious devotion that shaped the church's role in the local community over time.

The church stands on Via San Niccolò, on the slope above Cortona's historic centre. A portico runs along the left side and the facade, restored in 1930 from the remains of a 15th-century cloister. The rectangular forecourt is closed on the left by the mountain and on the right by a wall with a view over the surrounding landscape.

The portico along the left side and facade was rebuilt in 1930, starting from the remains of a 15th-century small cloister. The large fresco of the Madonna and Child with eight saints on the left wall comes from Luca Signorelli's workshop, not from the 17th- or 18th-century remodelling.
