The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is the most unusual landmark of the city. It was constructed in 1913 in a similar way as classical Russian temples of the 19th century. During this period, representatives of the Russian aristocracy often rested in San Remo. It is they who initiated the construction of the temple. Over a hundred years, the temple has been amazing with its luxurious interior, ancient icons, and decorative elements made of wood and stone.
The oldest religious structure in the city is the San Siro Cathedral, built in the 12th century. The last major reconstruction of the temple took place in the 18th century. During this period Anton Maragliano worked on its interior design. Many of his unique works have survived up to now. Not far from the church, is located an ancient baptistery bearing the name of St. John.
San Remo is known for its legendary Ariston theater, which is considered a tourist attraction of national importance. Its opening took place more than a hundred years ago. A theater stage and a modern cinema occupy the same historical building. For every resident of Italy visiting this cultural center is a matter of honor. In recent years, the theater has become a permanent venue for various cultural events.
