A Russian jewel on the Côte d'Azur, this turn-of-the-century cathedral is Tsar Nicolas II's tribute to a late Tsarevitch claimed by tuberculosis in 1865. A polychromatic masterpiece of brick and marble, the cathedral is lauded as a superior example of sacred architecture. Renowned for its hand-carved woodwork, religious icons, and ornate beauty, St. Nicolas's most characteristic feature is its gilded onion domes, recognizable throughout the city.
