Car Rental at 'Nice Promenade Des Anglais'

Nearby is another place that must be visited by all lovers of anthropology and history. We are talking about Musee Archeologique de Nice-Cimiez, where you can see the ruins of the amphitheater, baths, and fragments of streets. This place brings to mind the Roman period in Nice – the fact is that on the site of this area stood the Roman settlement of Cemenulum. Also in the museum you can look at traditional household items from that period. Crypte Archéologique – another place for lovers of anthropology – is located next to the Museum of Modern Art. Here you can see the ruins of the fortress towers and walls. Among other museums we will recommended for visiting, it is worth noting Palais Lascaris. The palace once belonged to the Laskaris-Ventimiglia dynasty and was built in the 18th century. The Genoese style was chosen. The first floor is used as a museum with a huge collection of pharmaceutical instruments and old musical instruments. Palais de Justice, looks striking with its neoclassical architecture. The thing is that there is something off about its exterior when it comes to the style of the entire ensemble, but in no way contrasts with the rest of the city. In its place at some point, was the Dominican monastery, which was destroyed in the year 1882.

The pearl of modern architecture is considered to be La Tête Carrée. This is perhaps, one of the most unusual buildings, not only in Garibaldi’s hometown, but all over the world. It is a library, but a very unusual one. The thing is that the building is built in the form of a square head, and is a living embodiment of the saying “If you read too much, your head will explode”. Another amazing creation of the architectural genius located in Nice, is Palais de l’Agriculture which was built in the early 20th century. In the pearl of the French Riviera you can find a building completely uncharacteristic for the European city, that is the Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe St-Nicolas. The church was built in the year 1912 and is a wonderful example of Orthodox architecture, being a kind of “exoticism” in the hometown of Michelle Mercier.
