The Church of Saint Nicholas (Greek: Ιερός Ναός Αγίου Νικολάου, romanized: Agios Nikolaos) is a Greek Orthodox church located in the Splanzia square in the town of Chania, on the island of Crete, Greece. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Originally a Roman Catholic church, it was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman period and then back into a church in the twentieth century. It is the only building in Greece to possess both a bell tower and a minaret.
