The imposing marble facade of the church was constructed over the centuries, and was completed in the 17th century.〔( Picture of the facade )〕 == Interior == The ''Cappellone di San Nicola'' is a Gothic chapel that opens to the cloister with enveloping early-14th century, Giottesque frescoes, attributed variously to the ''Master of Tolentino'', the ''Master of the Magi of Fabriano'', or Pietro da Rimini, depicting scenes from the life of the St. Nicholas of Tolentino and biblical episodes.
