"The Church of San Nicolás is located in the square of the same name. Close to Renaissance approaches, however, both its structure and orientation lean toward Romanesque.

Built of masonry with mortar coating and ashlar corners, it is very simple. Its main façade seen from the plaza is equally discreet with a pointed arch with molding, supported by attached pilasters, with a simple capital. It communicates with the Convent of the Angelicas from the tribune."
