Antibes entdecken

Antibes Cathedral, also called Notre-Dame-de-la-Platea, is the largest church in Antibes and was the seat of a bishop from the 5th century until 1244. Its façade was rebuilt after the siege of 1746–1747; the carved doors of 1710 show Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian, and inside hangs a Rosary altarpiece painted by Louis Bréa in 1515.

Notre Dame de la Garoupe is a chapel on top of the Garoupe plateau on Cap d'Antibes, beside the Garoupe lighthouse. Its two naves hold two statues of the Virgin, one of them Notre-Dame de Bon Port, patron of Antibes sailors, along with about 300 ex-votos from 1506 onwards, frescoes of 1948 and 1953 and a gilded altarpiece of 1710.
