St. Nicholas Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas)

Nestled among the French Beaux-Arts architecture of Nice’s Promenade des Anglais, the St. Nicholas Cathedral stands as a striking visual contrast with its fanciful onion-shaped domes and bright red exterior. Built by Tsar Nicholas II for the Russian community exiled to the French Riviera, this Russian Orthodox cathedral is now the most important Orthodox church outside of Russia. Visitors can explore its ornate interior and experience the rich cultural and religious heritage it preserves.
