San Nicolò, Padua

San Nicolò is a Romanesque and Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church in Padua, region of Veneto, Italy.

The church was first documented to the 11th century, when it was consigned to monks of the order of St Peter (Monache di San Pietro).

By 1546, the church was known to have 11 altars, many owned by local neighborhood aristocratic families, including the Forzatè.

The interior houses a main altarpiece depicting the Holy Family with the Saint Francesca Romana and Eurosia (1777) by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo; it was moved to this location in 1966.

Two frescoes depicting a Crucifixion and the Life of John the Baptist are attributed to Gerardino da Reggio, and were commissioned in 1374 by Marco Forzatè.
