The Chapel of St. Nicholas. "This chapel is an exquisite example of Byzantine architecture. St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the protector of sailors and children, is one of the most beloved saints in all Orthodoxy."

As you see, the outside stonework and woodworking in this chapel is exquisite.

I visit or just pass through Florance on occasion, where is this chapel in relation to the prison?

As you leave Florence (on Highway 79 heading to Tucson's Oro Valley), you go about 5-6 miles and there is a sign for the Monastery and you turn to your left and then go about a mile to the east.
