Chiesa di San Nicola, Catholic church in Cosenza, Italy.

The chiesa di San Nicola is a modern church in Cosenza, built a few metres from the demolished seventeenth-century church, on the square behind the town hall in piazza Francescantonio Nolè, at 234 metres above sea level. The Roman architect Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo designed it; the foundation stone was laid on 28 October 1956. Its interior holds a bronze panel by Tommaso Gismondi with 20 scenes from the life of Christ and 65 figures.

The original building was damaged by World War II bombings in 1943 and initially reconstructed before being completely demolished in 1961. A new structure was then built on the same site and shapes the square today.

The church displays eight oil paintings showing scenes from Saint Nicholas's life, created by Domenico Oranges in the mid-18th century. These works are a central part of how the interior tells the story of the saint through art.

The church sits on an elevated square and is accessible from different streets, making it easy to find in this part of the city. Walking to the site is straightforward and the surrounding area offers clear reference points for getting around.

The bronze panel by Tommaso Gismondi shows 20 scenes from the life of Christ, from the Annunciation to the Crucifixion, with 65 figures. The mosaic of the Guardian Angel was made by Emilio Greco in 1992. A gilded wooden bust of Saint Nicholas comes from a 17th-century Neapolitan workshop.
