4. Monument aux Morts

This dramatic monument in a landscaped square pays homage to the Nice citizens who died in World War II. The names of all 3525 citizens are carved into the large columns, which flank a funeral pyre with an eternal flame. Imposing relief sculptures and inscriptions make this a popular sightseeing spot and a place of reverence for locals, particularly those who personally remember the war.   (© 10Best)
