Church of St Nicholas, Valletta, Grade 1 Baroque church in Valletta, Malta
The Church of St Nicholas features a central dome supported by four columns, with a Greek cross floor plan and a bell tower at rear.
Built in 1569 as a Greek Orthodox church, the structure changed to Greek Catholic in 1639 and underwent reconstruction by architect Francesco Buonamici until 1652.
The church maintains dual functionality, serving both Greek Catholic liturgies and Serbian Orthodox Sunday services while holding Grade 1 national monument status.
Located on St Nicholas Street in central Valletta, the church stands within walking distance of the Grandmaster's Palace and St John's Co-Cathedral.
The structure combines Greek Orthodox architectural elements with Baroque design principles, featuring a three-bay ground level facade and single central upper bay.
