Neuf Lignes Obliques, Steel sculpture on Promenade des Anglais, France
Nine steel beams measuring 30 meters in length rise and merge at their summit, forming angular lines against the Mediterranean backdrop.
The monument was installed in 2010 to mark 150 years since the County of Nice became part of France through annexation in 1860.
The nine converging steel beams represent the nine valleys of the historical County of Nice, connecting the mountains to the Mediterranean Sea.
The structure weighs 65 tons and stands between the George Pompidou esplanade and the coast, supported by a 130-ton concrete foundation.
In 2012, the entire sculpture was relocated 10 meters from its initial position to enhance visibility for visitors along the promenade.
