The cathedral was built in the XIIIth century in a romanesque style, but it was redesigned in the XVIIth and XVIII th centuries. In the XVIIth century, a double-revolution external staircase was built at the entrance and the side doors were sealed. The arcatures of the facade bears witness to the lombard influence of the construction of this building. The lateral baroque chapel Saint-Sacrament added in 1740 and the massive cylindrical pillars are the main originalities of this cathedral. On the right side, beautiful retable attributed to Louis Brea. In the nave, paintings by Charles Nègre and Rubens (The Coronation of Thorns, The Crucifixion, The Invention of the Cross) and the only known religious painting of Fragonard: The washing of feet.

L’entrée se fait par l’escalier double avec un petit balcon donnant un certain charme à ce monument de style gothique. L’intérieur est très sombre, rustique et surtout très ancien .La nef très haute est supportée par de nombreuses colonnes. On peut apercevoir une collection d’orfèvrerie, icônes et de superbes tableaux de Rubens. Une petit visite s’impose sans oublier le au point de vue situé à coté et permettant d’avoir une vision sur les alentours de Grasse.

Une ambiance toute particulier habite la cathédrale de Grasse.
Elle présente un Rubens et un Fragonard qu'il faut absolument venir admirer.

Cette cathédrale a beaucoup de charme, on sent qu'elle a traversé les âges.
L'ambiance y est paisible.
Les tableaux de Rubens situés sur la droite, sont remarquables mais n'ont pas l'air très entretenus, c'est regrettable.
