The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Nice (
The basilica, built between 1864 and 1868, was designed by Louis Lenormand and is the largest church in Nice,[2] but is not the cathedral of the city.
Inspired by Angers Cathedral, it is built in the Gothic style. Its construction was motivated by a desire to add French architecture to the city following the acquisition of the County of Nice by France from the Kingdom of Sardinia; at the time Gothic buildings were considered to be characteristically French. Its most prominent features are two square towers 65 m high, which dominate the east front together with a large rose window featuring scenes of the Assumption of Mary.
