The Church of San Nicolás in Valencia, Spain, also known as the "Sistine Chapel of Valencia," is a stunning example of Gothic architecture with Baroque interior decoration. Originally built in the 13th century, the church underwent significant renovations in the 15th century, and its current lavish Baroque interior was added in the 17th century. The church is renowned for its breathtaking frescoes that cover the ceiling and walls, depicting scenes from the lives of Saint Nicholas and Saint Peter the Martyr. These frescoes, restored to their original splendor in recent years, are a significant attraction for both tourists and art enthusiasts.
