Église Sainte-Rita de Nice, Baroque church in Old Nice, France.

The interior of Église Sainte-Rita contains six side chapels surrounding a rectangular nave decorated with period frescoes and religious paintings.

Founded around 900 CE as Saint James Church, the structure underwent major renovations between 1677 and 1685, receiving its current baroque architectural style.

The church received official recognition as a French Historical Monument in 1942, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.

Located at 1 rue de la Poissonnerie, the church opens daily from 7 AM to 12 PM and 2:30 PM to 6 PM, with modified hours on Sundays.

The church houses a marble statue of the Virgin and Child in the Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel chapel, enhanced with polychrome decorations from the Rococo period.
