Palais Jeanne d’Arc

The Roman Catholic church of Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc in Nice is a striking Art Deco building in the Saint-Lambert neighborhood. The architect Jacques Droz built it between 1926 and 1933 out of prestressed concrete, after a first attempt to start construction in 1914 failed. Its architecture stands out for a unique structure of eleven domes, with three main domes supported by eight smaller ones, as well as a 60-meter-high campanile. The church has been a protected monument since 1992. Inside, you can admire impressive works of art, including statues by the sculptor Carlo Sarrabezolles and frescoes by the painter Eugene Klementieff, which shape the atmosphere of the parish, consecrated in honor of the Maid of Orléans.
