Massena

Our tour will begin at Place Massena. This spacious, bright square is framed by an architectural ensemble with pink neoclassical facades. The main decoration of the square is the Fountain of the Sun, located on its southern side. In the center of the fountain is a sculpture of Apollo, surrounded by bronze statues of Mars, Venus, Saturn, Mercury and Earth.

The square is also decorated with rubber figures of people on high pedestals - thinkers. According to the artist's idea, these figures symbolize the continents. In the evening, they light up in different colors and change their color. At one fine moment, the "thinkers" light up in one color, which symbolizes unity.

Next we will go to the old town and go to the Justice Square, where the monumental building of the Palace of Justice in the neo-classical style rises, and the Rjuska Palace, which also serves as a judicial office, is also located here.

Saleya's chickens.

Then our excursion will go along the main street of the old city Cours Saleya. This street is the location of the famous Flower Market of Nice. Walking along this street we will see the Palace of the Count of Svoyskogo, the arsenal of the Sardinian sailors.

Lascaris Palace

Next we will go deeper into the heart of the old town and walk along its narrow streets past colorful houses, among which is the Lascari Palace, built in the early 18th century.
