    I visited the cathedral, which is said to be the most beautiful in Russia and abroad on Easter Day. Surprisingly, there were fewer Russians and more tourists.

    St. Nicholas Orthodox Church is the most important and oldest church of its kind outside Russia. The church, built by Tsar Nicholas II in 1912, is magnificent, covered with red brick, light gray marble and colorful ceramic tiles, and six onion domes are a feature of its architecture. We walked past the city center, but the scenery along the road was average, a bit like a third-tier city, just went there to see the church.

    Although the onion heads have been seen in Russia, there is no urge to look at the onion heads that grow in France. There are so many places to visit in Nice that even sitting in a daze is not a waste of time, I saw this onion 5 kilometers back from Nice. This is an Orthodox church with a gorgeous exterior and exquisite structure, not particularly spectacular and more similar to the exquisite and beautiful style of the "Golden Ring Town".

    Nicholas Orthodox St. Nicholas Cathedral is near the railway station. Walk right, cross the bridge and go left for about 15 minutes. No tickets are needed. The opening time of the Cathedral is from June to September (9:00 to 12:00, 14:30 to 18:00), but it is also very delicate. It is decorated with many holy statues, murals, carved wooden wallboards and holy image screens made of embossed and carved metal. There are no photographs in the cathedral. 。

    Nice is famous for Russia's oldest and most important building of its kind abroad, the St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral. Some buildings in the new town combine different architectural styles and show their own characteristics. It can absolutely satisfy girls'fantasies about castles in fairy tales. When we get to Nice, we must go here and sit on the courtyard bench.

    The Russian Orthodox Church St. Nicholas Cathedral is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church, funded by Czar Nicholas II. It is the largest cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia. The interior of the church can not be photographed, but the appearance is absolutely shocking, is the best place to take pictures.
