Informazioni su Place Masséna
The heart of Nice, Place Masséna connects the Old Town to the modern city. The square is framed by distinctive red and ochre buildings with deep arcades, their red brick made from Pompeii stone, evoking Italian Riviera style. Black and white tiles create striking geometric contrast with the red facades. In 2007, Catalan artist Jaume Plensa added seven kneeling figures representing the seven continents, positioned high on poles above the square. At night, they illuminate and shift through gentle color changes, symbolizing dialogue between peoples. With Questo, you can explore how historic squares balance past grandeur with contemporary art.
