San Nicolò da Tolentino is a Baroque church in Palermo .

The church on Via Maqueda, in the former Jewish quarter (giudecca), is part of an Augustinian monastery from the 16th century. A synagogue was located on the site of the church until 1495. The three-aisled basilica was consecrated on July 26, 1609 by Archbishop Doria e del Carretto (1608–1642). The simple exterior is structured by four pilasters and a relatively restrained entablature. Inside there is the panel painting of the Annunciation by Pietro Novelli , sculptures in the manner of Giacomo Gaggini and stucco decorations by the school of Giacomo Serpotta . The Archivio Storico Comunale di Palermo has been located in the adjacent building of the former convent since 1866 .
