Castle’s waterfall

The waterfall that brings you freshness is artificial, but really pleasant. It was commissionned by King Charles Felix of Savoy during the 19th century. He wanted to expand and embellish his city. He gave the hill and its ruins to the municipality, in order to create a park and a promenade on the theme of romantic gardens. At that time, it was very fashionable to mix caves, fake ruins and ponds to a natural space. The waterfall is supplied by the Vesubie Canal but it might be completely dry. This sometimes happens , when water restrictions are in place during periods of drought. Right above the waterfall, you will have access to a belvedere, offering you the most beautiful viewpoint over Old Nice. You will be able to admire the fabulous beauty of the city, framed by the “Promenade des Anglais”.
