Grasse Cathedral

An interesting cathedral dating back from the 12 century. I wouldn’t drive here just to visit, but if you happen to be in Grasse, it’s worth a visit. Also check out the panoramic view of Grasse behind the cathedral.

Wowww this is one of the best cathedrals I’ve ever visited! The dark stone ! so cool and gothic! My mum thinks it needs some refurbishing because the paint is ripped off the walls etc but I say DONT TOUCH IT, looks better this way

A very pretty cathedral in the heart of the town of Grasse! It is not very large but it is very beautiful. Inside there are several reliquaries of saints and some stunning chapels!

Beautiful church. The central nave was built in the 13th century. A later Chapel of the Blessed Testament was built in 1738. The interior contains many beautiful artworks including three paintings by Rubens and one by Charles Negre ("The Death of Saint Paul") who was born and died in Grasse. Negre was a painter who later became an even more famous photographer.

Very very old building, fantastically preserved. In the cellar/crypt there is an exhibition for local artists to show and sell their works. I really liked this concept - showing off your local talent and culture while also giving the artists the opportunity for sharing their talent with the world and making some extra income.

Grasse Cathedral is a stunning ancient church nestled amidst the hilly streets of the city. Although reaching it can be a bit challenging due to the city's topography, the effort is undoubtedly worth it. The cathedral boasts unique paintings by Rubens, adding to its historical significance and allure. However, our visit was slightly disappointing as the lady responsible for the church closed its doors just 10 minutes before our arrival, denying us entry. Despite this setback, the exterior alone exudes a sense of grandeur and makes it a worthwhile stop in Grasse.

It's a MUST if you are in Grasse. Visit it not only because you need the shadow but because it's beautiful inside. Impressive decoration and architecture. Take a moment and light a candle. Don't miss the small square with the view behind 😉

The front side of the cathedral could result not so fascinating, but inside I was captured by the beauty of this special place
