A place to admire a perfect cylinder of Nice's Pairolière tower.
More than thirty steps lead us towards the most interesting archeological discovery of the last twenty years! It is the work of the tramway that has helped to update just 6 m underground around 2,000 m 2 of medieval and antique remains surprisingly preserved, telling centuries of history of the Niçese city. The curious can admire a perfect cylinder of the Pairolière Tower dating back to the xivth century, the aqueduct feeding the gardens of the old palace of Nice, the ruins of the house of the medieval Faubourg of the Augustins, the immense bastion Saint-Sebastian (seventeenth century), the ditches of the fortifications or the pillars of the old bridge leading to the Turin road. An extraordinary visit to the past.
