The Church of Saint Nicholas of Molos (Agios Nikolaos tou Molou) is a historical landmark in Zakynthos Town. It is located right on Solomos Square, near the harbor.
Built in 1561 in the Venetian style, the stone church is considered the oldest Venetian building on Solomos Square.
It is the only Venetian building in the city that survived the devastating earthquake and subsequent fires of 1953 almost unscathed.
Originally built on a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge, it also served as a lighthouse for seafarers at times.
