Recently given a magnificent restoration, San Nicolás, down a narrow passageway, features a baroque riot of 2000 sq meters of brightly colored frescoes painted over the Gothic vaulting in the 17th century. There are enough cherubs for a documentary on childhood obesity. The altarpiece is in similar style, with golden corkscrew columns framing the twin saints who share the church: San Nicolás saving boys from the pickling tub, and San Pedro Mártir with a cutlass in his head.
If baroque isn't your thing, you'll find some more sober pieces around the church, with Renaissance altarpieces by Juan de Juanes on either side of the altar and a Calvary that he completed with his father Vicente Macip on the right. At the back of the church is another crucifixion scene, a fine late Gothic altarpiece by Rodrigo de Osona.
