Back Aisle Fresco

photo

View of one of the frescoes on the arch of the back aisle of Saint Nicholas Church. In the upper right, note the boat with sailors and a saint in it. Saint Nicholas was considered to be a protector of sailors.

On the springs of the arches that originally covered this room, some frescoes tell the life story of Saint Nicholas—one of the few places where at least a portion of this story is preserved.
