  • From the outside, the cathedral has amazing architecture and stunning sculptures within its grounds. Inside is beautiful, you can't take any photo's once inside and it feels smaller than it looks...

  • The setting and the outside views are the highlights here. Striking building and beautiful grounds, a very peaceful spot. Inside is dark and foreboding. No pews per se, but benches around the columns....  more

  • A cathedral with Russian architectural influence. The cathedral has very intricate design throughout. Situated in a calm and quiet place. One of the main attractions is you can see numerous rabbits prancing around in the garden surrounding the cathedral. Definitely worth the visit.
  • This church is beautiful place to visit. It has the Russian style from outside, it also has beautiful color and lots of great details. It is a bit far from the city center. If you have a spare time, you should come to visit this church. We recommend.
  • This place is magnificent. My girlfriend and I took the guided tour offered daily at 3pm (free with Riviera Pass otherwise €10, offered in English and French). The Sisters there were very nice and knowledgeable. The opulence of the interior is breathtaking, as is the exterior visage. It is a truly remarkable building and a must-see. Very Impressed, Clayton Cohn
  • Just awesome! Take L2 metro to get here... Very convenient and easy to reach here!! Peace and calm.
  • 2022.09.04 The Cathedral is located in the heart of the city. A Greek Orthodox church with a Russian architecture influence. Very colourful and beautiful.
