Rising up over the eastern end of Quai des États-Unis, Castle Hill (Colline du Château) stands at 300 feet, offering panoramic views of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Old Town of Vieux Nice, the Baie des Anges, and the sparkling Côte d’Azur. Although no castle remains today, the hill’s strategic location has made it a significant site throughout history. Visitors can explore the park, walk along the winding paths, and enjoy the scenic vistas that stretch across the Mediterranean coastline. The hill also features a waterfall and a playground, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
