Much of the historical centre dates back to the 13th century. The Romanesque cathedral on the eastern side of the square was built in the 11th century on the site of an old Roman temple. It contains Chagall’s mosaic of Moses (1979), appropriately watching over the baptismal font.
The daring Fondation Émile Hugues , with its wonderful 20th-century art exhibitions, inside imposing Château de Villeneuve, is a nice contrast to Vence’s historic quarter.
