Country and People
History
There are archaeological sites (Terra Amata), showing that the area Nice has been inhabited for at least 400'000 years.
The city was founded some 2'000 years ago by the Phocis peoples, who congregated in Marseille. The Nikaia called his victory against the Ligurian (Nike was the name of the goddess of victory), and the city quickly became an important commercial port. In the Middle Ages, the city participated in almost all wars against Italy.
In 1860, after many twists and turns, Nice again belonged to the French Republic, following the signing of the Treaty of Turin. Today it is the fifth largest city in the country.
