Cathedral Saint Nicholas In Monaco, a photo from Monte-Carlo, North

Photographer's Note

Burial place of monarchs

Built in 1875, Monaco Cathedral houses the burial places of Monaco's royalty including Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. Visitors will marvel at the use of Carrara marble of the altar and other lavish material adornments. Somewhat plain on the outside, the cathedral is extraordinary inside.

Somewhat of a pilgrimage site for fans of actress Grace Kelly, who became the princess of Monaco after her fairytale marriage with Rainier in 1956, Saint Nicholas Cathedral is the burial site of Grace and her husband, who never remarried after her death. Constructed in the late 1800s, the cathedral is an important local landmark and features a white exterior and beautiful Carrara-marble altar.

From September through June, “Les Petits Chanteurs de Monaco” and the singers of the Cathedral Choir School sing during mass every Sunday at 10:00am. Mass is also celebrated here each year on 6 December, when primary children gather for a joyful remembrance of St. Nicholas' life.

Hello Barbara
This cathedral looks impressive with unusual architecture, so I can only imagine the interior being really opulent.
Nicely placed in the frame, and stands out well against the brilliant blue sky.
Best Wishes Gladys.

The imposing structure of the cathedral has been captured in detail. The light and the sharp shadows enhances the depth of the architecture. The bright sunlight is from the left side of the photograph and hence the sharp shadows arcoss the archway at the entrance and on the windows on the top floor are well expressed. The blue Background and the absence of any other structure on either side makes the structure stand out - bright and sharp.
Thanks for sharing.

Splendid building that looks great in the magnificent POV that you've captured, the facade is nice and this angle showing its best side highlights the great work.
Stunning colorful, especially in that splendid deep blue sky, is a beautiful work flawlessly. I love it.
