Nice Cathedral (Sainte-Réparate)
Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate
A Baroque cathedral on Place Rossetti in the old town, with a dome of coloured glazed tiles and an ornate interior. The ice cream shop on the square is equally famous.
Sainte-Réparate Cathedral stands in the centre of Nice's old town on Place Rossetti. Built in the 17th century and dedicated to Saint Réparate, the city's patron saint, it is the cathedral of Nice. Its façade is Baroque, and the dome and bell tower covered in coloured glazed tiles are landmarks of the old town skyline. Inside, ten side chapels are decorated with marble, stucco carvings and murals. Entry is free. The Fenocchio ice cream shop on the square offers nearly a hundred flavours, such as lavender, olive and tomato-basil, and is a must-visit for tourists. It can be combined with the old town and the Cours Saleya flower market.
Opening hours
