Sights & Sites
This church, dedicated to Saints Martin and Augustin, was built in the 17th century and holds a number of important works including one considered to be a Bréa panel from the turn of the 16th century.
It is one of the oldest churches in Nice, and the current building replaces an older Gothic church which was rebuilt in 1636, with works stretching all the way to the 18th century. The facade was changed in the 19th century.
Documents show that Martin Luther officiated mass in this church in 1510, and Giuseppe Garibaldi was baptised here in 1807.
