The Church of St. Nicholas is situated in Capalbio in the province of Grosseto.
The building is located in the historical centre of the village, in the square opposite to Rocca aldobrandesca.
The Church was built in middle ages, almost certainly in the 12th century, when it was also parish. Some interventions were made in the 14th century who introduced, in primitive and original Romanesque plan, new elements of the Gothic style.
