San Nicola da Tolentino, Catholic church in Castelletto district, Genoa, Italy.
San Nicola da Tolentino is a brick church located in the Castelletto neighborhood and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Genoa. The building displays traditional architectural features characteristic of Genoese religious structures.
The church was built in 1597 and served as a religious center for the community over several centuries. After an extended period of use, the building was officially closed in 1942.
