What see

  • 1 Olivetan Abbey of San Nicola, Via Brescia 83. The abbey was built by the Cluniac monks towards the middle of the 11th century. In 1446, at the behest of Pope Eugene IV, the primitive abbey was entrusted to the Olivetans. As early as 1450, the decision was taken to rebuild the abbey complex, starting with the church of San Nicola, entirely rebuilt in the place where the old Cluniac church stood. The project for the expansion of the architectural structures soon also involved the construction of the western cloister and the large cloister, (later rebuilt in 1560-70, with the expansion of the upper floors), and progressively affected the entire monastery. The Olivetan priors immediately showed themselves aware of the importance of the action undertaken and were careful to avail themselves of the collaboration of the most important Brescian artists such as Romanino and Moretto.
