Lonely Planet review

Vieux Nice's eastern extremity is flanked by Parc du Château, a towering 92m-high rock offering a cinematic panorama of Nice and the Baie des Anges.

The château after which the hill and park are named was established in the 12th century but was razed by Louis XIV in 1706. In the one remaining tower, the 16th-century Tour Bellanda, is the Musée Naval. The cemetery where Garibaldi is buried covers the northwest of the park.
