Preciosa Catedral en la ciudad Niza. Tanto por dentro como por fuera. Fuimos en domingo sobre la hora de la misa por lo que habia bastantes coches y gente pero aún así disfrutamos la visita. Por los alrededores había varios conejos a los cuales no quisimos molestar pero si observar porque eran preciosos. En resumen, lugar precioso.

Esta si es la catedral Ortodoxa de Niza, te dan la posibilidad de visitarla gratuitamente (zona de culto) y pagar 5€ para ver su cripta. La tienda de recuerdos tiene artículos preciosos. Es un pedazo del alma de la Rusia imperial trasplantado a la Costa Azul. Es la catedral ortodoxa rusa más grande de Europa Occidental y un testimonio vibrante de la historia compartida entre la aristocracia rusa y la costa francesa. A finales del siglo XIX, Niza era el refugio de invierno preferido de la nobleza rusa. La catedral se convirtió en el epicentro social y espiritual de esta comunidad. Su construcción simbolizó el estatus de Niza como una capital cosmopolita y de lujo extremo.

El templo es muy bonita pero la persona de la entrada nos decía que había que pagar. Preguntamos si había una parte gratis, que se supone que si, que el pago es para el museo, y nos dijo que teníamos que esperar 30 minutos. La mujer no parecía muy convencida de dejarnos entrar gratis Al cabo de 1 hora nos fuimos sin acceder. La parte que se puede ver "gratis" solo es una capilla.
