The cult of Saint Nicholas was likely brought to Malta by followers from Sicily during the Middle Ages. The area where the chapel stands was originally known as Il-Kasar, but by 1500 it was already called San Niklaw. Some records mention 1504 as the year the chapel was built.

The current chapel was built in 1640.
