Lonely Planet review

Behind the Musée Matisse lie the ruins of the Roman city of Cemenelum - the focus of the Musée et Site Archéologiques where you can visit the public baths, amphitheatre and original paved streets, and view relics like ceramics, glass, coins and tools. The Archaeology Museum comes alive when the public baths and the amphitheatre become the venue for outdoor concerts during the Nice Jazz Festival. However, both can be visited any time of year.

To get here from Museé Matisse, turn left out of the main park entrance on av des Arènes de Cimiez, walk 100m, then turn left again onto ave Monte Croce, where the main entrance to the archaeological site is located.
