European Heritage Days - Archives départementales at the palace of the Sardinian kings

The palace of the Sardinian kings was built on the plot of land where the ducal, then royal, palace stood from the mid-16th to the 19th century, when the county of Nice came under Savoyard, then Sardinian, rule. A building steeped in history in Vieux Nice, it now houses the ceremonial rooms of the prefect and president of the departmental council.
