Tips
Even though the roof structure, as well as the windows and doors, are completely missing from the building, the outer walls of the former church are surprisingly well preserved for a church ruin—or have presumably been carefully restored. It's not surprising that the church was once dedicated to Saint Nicholas: As the patron saint of sailors (among other things), his cult is very widespread along the Mediterranean coast.
