fresco-restoration highlights decorative art of medieval fa\u00e7ades, now rare in the old town.<\/p>\n<p>Local legends say this scene symbolizes couple quarrels or the exile of Adam and Eve in the Bay of Nice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sphinxes of the Column of the Israelites<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The sphinxes of the Column of the Israelites are monumental statues that once decorated an obelisk erected in 1826, a gift from the Jewish community of Nice to King Charles-F\u00e9lix.<\/p>\n<p>The monument was demolished in 1861, shortly after the County of Nice was annexed by France, but some sphinxes were preserved.<\/p>\n<p>Two sphinxes are now located on a villa on rue de la Pr\u00e9fecture, while others are displayed in a small \u201copen-air museum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These remnants represent a lesser-known part of Nice\u2019s Jewish history and urban heritage.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Old Nice is a true historical and cultural treasure, combining monuments, lively squares, Baroque chapels, and picturesque streets.<\/p>\n<p>Each visit allows you to discover landmarks such as Cours Saleya, Place Mass\u00e9na, Baroque palaces, and unique churches and chapels of the old town.<\/p>\n<p>But Old Nice is also a gourmet experience with local specialties, from socca to Fenocchio ice cream, reflecting the richness of Ni\u00e7oise culture.<\/p>\n<p>Strolling through this district immerses you in the history, gastronomy, and authenticity of Nice, while enjoying a warm and lively atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Old Nice remains a must-visit for anyone wishing to combine heritage, culture, and culinary delights in the heart of the French Riviera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Old Town of Nice is the historical and cultural heart of the city, a place
