colline du château de Nice
Nice
Practical details not verified yet
We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
The hill overlooking the bay of Nice once carried a military stronghold, standing from the 11th to the 18th century. It withstood several sieges, notably in 1543 and 1691, before falling to French troops in 1705 and being torn down on Louis XIV's orders the following year. Visitors come mainly for the view over the city and the sea rather than for surviving structures.
