Château de Valrose stands in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the heights of Nice, Valrose castle stands out for its neo-Gothic design, built in the last third of the 19th century for a wealthy Russian baron. The estate, now home to the university, still bears traces of a landscaped park once filled with Italian palm trees, pavilions and ornamental water features. Visitors mainly come to see the exterior architecture and stroll through the grounds rather than tour the interior.
