Why go
The cathedral marks the historic Russian presence on the Riviera in a form immediately different from Nice’s Baroque churches. Its exterior draws the eye with Russian church forms; inside, icons and the iconostasis give the space its religious focus. It is worth planning as a distinct visit beyond the old-town circuit.
What to look for
- Moscow-inspired cathedral exterior.
- Icons inside the cathedral.
- Iconostasis separating the sanctuary.
Useful to know
- Check the cathedral’s current visiting times before setting out.
