Place Garibaldi also stands out for its architecture and history. It is named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, hero of the Italian unification (born in Nice in 1807 when Nice was part of the Napoleonic Empire, before reverting to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia). The square was built at the end of the 18th century and served as the entry gate to the city and end of the road to Turin. It took several names between 1780 and 1870 (Plaça Pairoulièra, Place de la République, Place Napoléon, Place d'Armes, Place Saint-Augustin, Piazza Vittorio) and finally Place Garibaldi in September 1870.
A statue of Garibaldi, who was fiercely in favour of the union of Nice with Italy, stands in the centre of the square. The recent rebuilding of the area to accommodate the new tramway line gave mostly the entire square to pedestrians. The architecture is in line with the Turin model, which was the norm of urban renewal throughout the entire realm of the House of Savoy.
另外,也可坐火车或乘100路到Eze山脚下,再坐83路,当然,有雅致有体力也可以走艰难的尼采之路去"思考人生"。公交车好处是站多,方便,还可以看看风景,82和112路是从山上走可俯瞰,100路从海边走。加里波第广场还有当地人气最高的海鲜餐厅Café de Turin,如果从摩纳哥乘100路回来,下了车就到。
