The Church of St. Nicholas in Bari is named in the Law of Madrid of 1202 as one of the oldest parishes in the city.

For a time, the building was abandoned till the church was ceded in 1825 to the Third Order of Servites.

In the year 1891 the parish was relocated to a church that had been Anton Martin Hospital in Atocha street, today the Parish of San Nicolas and San Salvador, leaving the old building as the church of "St. Nicholas of the Servites", a name derived from the Servite Order, which still owns it.

Successive restorations that this building has undergone over the centuries have conditioned its current appearance.

The principal is a beautiful cover Baroque carved in the 18th century by Luis Salvador Carmona where is the image of St. Nicholas in a relief.

The whole façade is inserted in this cover is made of brick with a layout and dimensions very different from the rest of the building.
