Panorama of the bay and town of Nice
This 3x1 panorama shows the town of Nice in the south of France, as viewed from the Parc de la Colline du Château de Nice. The name "Château de Nice" refers to a series of fortifications that stood on a hill overlooking the Baie des Anges from the 11th to the 18th century. The last of these fortifications were dismantled on the orders of Louis XIV following the siege of Nice in 1705. The area was eventually transformed into a public park and gardens, the parc de la Colline du Château, in the mid-19th century.
