The Basilique Notre Dame in Nice is the largest church in the city, and the cathedrals influenced its design in Paris and Angers. This neo-gothic structure may be found on the highly commercial avenue Jean Médecin, located in the city's center. It is dedicated to Mary to preserve the memory of the past cathedral located on the castle hill of the city.

Between 1864 and 1879, shortly after the county of Nice became a part of France, the Notre Dame de l'Assomption Basilica was constructed. This was done as part of an effort to make the city more French and modern. It was erected in 1925, and Pope Paul VI elevated it to Basilica in 1978.
