Charles-Félix statue, Royal statue at Port Lympia, Nice, France
The marble statue depicts King Charles Felix of Sardinia in 16th-century attire, with an eagle bearing the Savoy cross at its base.
The monument, erected in 1828, honors Charles Felix who ruled Sardinia from 1821 to 1831 and maintained privileges for Nice's free port.
Local merchants funded this statue through public subscription to express gratitude for the king's support of maritime commerce in Nice.
The statue stands in Square Guynemer, offering views of the port and serving as a reference point for visitors exploring Nice's heritage.
During riots between 1851 and 1853, protesters removed the statue's index finger that originally pointed toward the port.
