Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Platea stands in Antibes’s old town as the city’s largest church. The building has protected historic monument status since 1945.

Its Christian history reaches the fifth century, while local tradition places Diana and Minerva on this site. Saint Paul also appears in a local preaching tradition here.

Repeated raids and the Siege of Antibes shaped the cathedral’s present form, especially its eighteenth-century Italian-style façade. The choir preserves the oldest visible part of the building.

Inside, three naves frame a large organ, a fifteenth-century crucifix, and a Merovingian-era altar. Louis Brea’s 1515 Rosary altarpiece occupies a transept chapel.

Carved walnut doors show Saints Roch and Sebastian, Antibes’s patron saints, in work linked to Jacques Dolle. Romanesque and classical Italian elements record centuries of rebuilding after violence and war.

The cathedral shares the old town with Château Grimaldi, the Picasso Museum, and Tour Grimaldi. Tour Grimaldi stands nearby as a defensive tower from Antibes’s earlier fortifications.
