The Basilica of San Nicolo dei Mindicoli is a church in Venice located in the Dorsoduro area.

The first church on this site appeared in the 7th century. At that time it was named Mendicoli   (beggars), since the majority of the local population were beggars.

In the 12th century, the cathedral acquired its present form. In the 1970s, during the Save Venice program the temple has been completely renovated.

The basilica houses sculptures made of wood and paintings by the disciples of Veronese depicting episodes from the life of Christ.
