Cathédrale Sainte Réparate, the oldest and most ornate church in the city. It has been in existence since the 1200’s, it was rebuilt and made a Cathedral, and has been the Catholic heart of the city for 400 years. 5 views It’s named after a young Palestinian teen, Reparate, who was arrested for her Christian faith in the year 1060, but refused to renounce. She was beheaded and her body was sent on a raft to sea. The angels took over and guided her raft across the Mediterranean to the bay of Nice, where her body arrived pristine and untouched, and was declared a miracle. That is how the bay of Nice became named the Bay of Angels and how the young martyr became Saint Reparate, the patron saint of the Cathedral in Old Nice.
