Very cool looking Russian style church, with crazy colorful towers and spires and intricate pre revolution opulence.
True to its name, this church resembles Red Square's St. Basil's more than anything else. Besides being a great place to escape the heat of a summer's day, the interior is breathtaking and unlike any other place of worship in Nice.
