San Nicola Vescovo, Catholic parish church in Melicucco, Italy.

San Nicola Vescovo is a Catholic parish church in Melicucco with a three-nave layout in which the central nave rises above the side naves. The bell tower sits on the circular apse and defines the building's external profile.

The first church of San Nicola in Melicucco was built in the seventeenth century and was destroyed by successive earthquakes. It was rebuilt between 1926 and 1927, opened for worship in 1928, and the works were completed in 1933. Parish records list priests from 1732 onward.

The church holds a two-metre wooden crucifix dated 1704 above the altar, and the narrow side naves contain altars and niches with nineteenth-century wooden statues. Among them are Saint Paschal, dated 1798, and the Madonna del Carmine by Domenico De Lorenzo, while the statues of Saint Roch, Saint Anthony, Saint Nicholas and Saint Joseph are by Francesco Morani.

The church interior is easily accessible and well-maintained for visits. As part of the Diocese of Oppido Mamertina-Palmi, visitors can freely explore the architecture and artworks throughout the building.

Since 1732 the parish has kept records of its priests, documenting centuries of leadership continuity. This archive reveals the religious stability and administrative history of the local community across long periods.
