Jewel of the city’s religious heritage, the Notre-Dame de la Nativité Cathedral, a classified historic landmark, built from the 11th century onwards, was the headquarters of the diocese of Vence.
Built on the site of a Roman temple, later a Carolingian church, it reflects with its architecture and furniture the incredible richness of Vence’s heritage. The interior is made up of five naves. You can see a Gallo-Roman sarcophagus from the fifth century, called “tombeau de Saint Véran”. On several columns and in the Saint Sacrement Chapel you can admire the magnificient Carolingian carved plaques with stunning tracery decors.
