The Chiesa di S. Nicola da Tolentino, or I Tolentini as it is locally known, was founded in the year 1524 and is a Catholic church.

History

The first oratory built on this site was constructed in the 16th century and was dedicated to the same saint, Saint Nicholas of Tolentino. A church was commissioned in 1590, and not completed until 1671 due to financial disputes, and the façade was not added until 1714. The church was suppressed in 1810 by Napoleon, but reopened later that year as the parish church for Santa Croce. The convent associated with the church is now used by Venice University Institute of Architecture.
