Vence Cathedral (Cathédrale de la Nativité-de-Marie de Vence) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, located in the town of Vence.
It was formerly the seat of the Bishopric of Vence, abolished by the Concordat of 1801, when its territory was passed to the Diocese of Nice.
Famous quotes containing the word cathedral:
“The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
