The Church of San Nicola Magno in Salve stands in Piazza Concordia and has a unique layout because the building developed over a very small pre-existing church.\n\nThe main entrance does not lead to the main altar but to the beautiful Olgiati-Mauro organ, dating from 1628, the work of Giovan Battista Olgiati from Como and the refined cabinetmaking art of Tommaso Mauro from Muro Leccese.\n\nVisitors are also captivated by the sobriety of the vaults on the left and the splendor of the stucco work on the right, created in 1704 by Cesare Penna. The latter are characterized by medallions framed by medallions from which the saints peek out.
