La Turbie
From « Mont Bataille » to the « Tête de Chien”, the craggy village of La Turbie overlooks the principality of Monaco and offers an extraordinary panoramic view from the Italian Riviera to the Esterel mountains. La Turbie is an authentic medieval village soaked in history and it owes its fame to the “Trophée des Alpes” (dating back to the year 7 BC), built by the Emperor Augustus to commemorate his victories over the Alpine tribes.
The exuberant Baroque style church of Saint Michel Archangel (late 18th century) is worth a visit.
The Monumental Fountain (1824) completes this architectural patrimony. Those who enjoy walking or rambling will find La Turbie the perfect starting point for discovering several exceptional sites : the “Tête de Chien”, the “Forna”, the “Mont Bataille”, the Roman quarries, the Sanctuary at Laghet and Mont Agel Golf Course also known as the Monte-Carlo Golf Club.
