The church of Aghios Nikolaos, the patron saint of sailors, was built next to the port, in one of the most beautiful parts of the city.

Sagredo chose this site, outside the city walls and next to the sea, as the church was dedicated to sailors.

The modern church of Aghios Nikolaos must be more recent and was consecrated in 1836.
 

The church is in the basilica style, with a flat roof, known as 'the heavens', which is common to Italian style churches.

Today, it is well worth seeing the carved wooden chancel with its pulpit; the large despotic icons, which date from 1848 to 1849, as well as the central chandelier from Odessa and the bishop's throne. The façade and bell tower are later additions to the church.
