Introduction
Old Nice's core cathedral was begun in 1650 and consecrated in 1699, dedicated to the city's patron St. Reparata. Its facade waited until the 19th century for completion, but inside the Baroque programme pulls no stops - gilded woodwork, marble colonnades and dome frescoes layered to the ceiling, a startling contrast with the plain ochre walls outside. The dome's coloured tiles define the old-town skyline, and the cathedral still holds daily Mass, open to casual visitors between services.
