Dedicated to the patron St. Nicholas, you can admire the valuable wooden choir, carved dark walnut in 1843 dall'ebanista Fella Joseph Oria. You may notice some old canvases placed on the altars of exquisite workmanship and a lively fresco on the triumphal arch of the transept, dating back to 1801, the date of restoration of the church, depicting the coat of arms of Squinzano, with an eagle with spread wings for architectural needs . The bell tower, completed in 1658, operates in a simple and elegant Baroque, has a square shape that is tapered on the upper floors; it’s 32 meters high from the ground below.
