Hiking
This is also where the elevator up and down to and from the castle hill is located!
The Bellanda Tower in the municipality of Nice in the Alpes-Maritimes department guards the Bay of Angels south of the castle park.
This medieval defensive structure, built on a former acropolis, was converted into a simple observation tower after 1825. Berlioz is said to have composed the overture to King Lear here in 1831.
