The space occupied by the parish church of San Nicolás has been considered sacred practically since the Roman foundation of the city. Apparently in this area a temple was already dedicated to pagan divinities and was a burial place outside the city walls, according to Roman custom. Historical documents state that the first building was built in the time of King James I, who donated the place to the Dominicans who accompanied him. Years later the Dominicans founded the Convent of Santo Domingo (current Captaincy General building) and the temple was directly linked to the diocese of Valencia and the secular clergy. It was erected as a parish around 1242 and is included in the first twelve Christian parishes of the city of Valencia after the restoration of the Diocese in the year 1238.
