My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.The Monument aux Morts is a very striking memorial to the people who passed away during World War I. Erected in 1919, and was the idea of the Mayor of Nice, Goiran Francis. In terms of pure size, it is one of the largest tributes to the fallen to be found anywhere in the country.The location of the memorial is set so that it faces out to the ocean. It is built into the beautiful Castle Hill in town. During the daytime, the light plays off the white stone that was used to build the structure, making the whole thing look a bit surrealistic. It is dome shaped, and has an urn in the middle. If you take time to go up to the display, you will be able to read the names of the three thousand six hundred and fifty five lost souls that are honoured here. It is a great spot to stop for a moment of contemplation.The design was done by Roger Seasal. Some of the additional work, namely the bas-reliefs was added closer to 1928 by Alfred Janniot. |
