Church of San Nicolò

Of Romanesque origin, located above the walls of the second circle of the historic center, the Church of San  Nicolò has been recorded since 1256, when it belonged to the monks of the Verghereto Abbey.

Inside, it preserves valuable 14th-century frescoes of the Marche school, including the so-called ‘Madonna of the Pear between St Anthony Abbot and St John the Baptist’ and the ‘Madonna on  throne with Child between St Stephen and another Saint’, as well as ‘The Announcing Angel’ and the ‘Madonna  with Child, Angels in Flight and the Stigmata of St Francis’.

On the outer wall, on the Via Garibaldi side, there is a plaque bearing the passage from the 14th canto of the Purgatorio in which Castrocaro Terme is mentioned, bearing witness to the stay of the great poet  Dante Alighieri in the town of Castrocaro Terme.
