The Church of San Nicolás de Soria, originally a Roman Catholic church, is now only a ruin located in the city of Soria, Spain. The church was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1962.
Part of the apse and some side walls remain, though the nave roof was brought down in 1858. In 1908, the portal of the church was moved to the church of San Juan de Rabanera in Soria. Further unstable walls were razed in 1933.
During restoration works in 1978, frescoes depicting the murder of Saint Thomas of Canterbury were discovered in one of the remaining walls of the church. These ruins remain as the remnants of the former Romanesque-style structure.
