Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe St.-Nicolas

The Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe St.-Nicolas (St. Nicholas' Russian Orthodox Cathedral), an exuberant pink-and-gray church with six green onion-shaped cupolas and an ornate exterior, looks out of place in southern France. Tzar Nicolas II built it from 1903 to 1912, and inside is a dazzling collection of treasures and memorabilia relating to the Russian presence in Nice.
