Discover the walls of the ancient medieval city of La Turbie by strolling through the medieval streets of the village.
The historic center of La Turbie is protected from the hustle and bustle of the city by the rampart formed by the medieval houses, built in a circular arch. One enters through one of the four portals placed at the cardinal points. During your discovery, make a stop at Place Saint-Jean, an old place where the villagers met during important festivals and events, the Gioffredo Portal, old entrance of the fortified village, and the Saint-Michel's Church, beautiful work of Nice's baroque style and listed at the the Historical Monuments.
