San Nicola

San Nicola is a church in Capalbio with a single nave and three side chapels constructed from local stone. The building features a bell tower topped with a pyramidal form.

The church emerged during the Romanesque period and underwent expansions and decorative work through the 15th century. A restoration inscription dated 1466 documents work from that era.

The interior displays frescoes created by Umbrian painters from the Sienese school, reflecting regional artistic traditions from the medieval period. These works continue to shape the visual character of the space today.

The church maintains regular access for visitors and preserves a quiet character with minimal crowds. The main entrance on the front facade is the primary way in.

The bell tower received a distinctive pyramidal top in 1919, altering the original Romanesque design. This early 20th-century modification gave the building its present appearance.
