Terrasse du château, Viewpoint at Castle Hill, Nice, France.
The observation area extends across Castle Hill, providing views of Nice's harbor, old town district, and the Mediterranean Sea stretching to the horizon.
The terrace stands where a medieval castle controlled Nice until 1706 when Louis XIV ordered its demolition during the city's siege.
The terrace functions as an open-air gallery where photographers capture the city landscape while local artists display their interpretations of Nice.
Visitors reach the terrace via stairs from Rue des Ponchettes, through an elevator near Place Garibaldi, or along paved paths through Castle Hill Park.
The terrace features a constructed waterfall that cascades down the hill, creating a water display visible from the Promenade des Anglais.
