Cimiez Nice : Nice Tourism

Description

This is one of uptown Nice which owes its name to the extraordinary height of trees that littered the hill with the caption said that the tops familiar tone heaven.



There are Henri Matisse museum and Roman ruins: the arena, amphitheater, baths and the Paleo-Christian Basilica.



The Nice Jazz Festival held in late July in the ruins of the Roman Arena Cimiez and the adjacent olive groves.



Nearby, the magnificent Hotel Regina built for the English aristocracy and especially Queen Victoria (on the advice of his doctor), where she stayed during his long winter tours on the French Riviera.



On the hill are also Cimiez Monastery and Church of the Franciscan monks since the sixteenth century. The church houses the Pieta, the Crucifixion and the Deposition from the Cross, three major works of the medieval artist Louis Brea.
