La Castellada is the summer event on the Castle Hill. From August 7 to 18, the city of Nice offers a 2.5-hour journey between theater and stroll, exploring the history of Nice.
At nightfall, you will encounter ghosts of the past while overlooking the Bay of Angels or the port of Nice. A unique way to experience Nice. Join us at the unmissable Castle Hill, a tourist site full of history, starting at 8 p.m. The performance begins at 9 p.m.
The meeting point is in front of the snack bar on the sports field. By foot, you will need to climb the stairs leading to the Bellanda Tower. Partial vehicle access is available. You will need to park along the Allée Professeur Benoît before walking to the meeting point. Access for people with reduced mobility (PRM) is possible. However, “the site has natural slopes that could make some areas less accessible,” the municipality notes.
La Castellada promises an active theatrical evening. A 2.5-hour show is planned, during which the audience follows the costumed troupe throughout the temporal journey in the Castle Hill park.

Meeting Catherine Segurane and Garibaldi
Twelve scenes are offered by the Miranda Company, based at the Théâtre de la Cité. Through these small comic scenes at the crossroads between operetta and humorous song, the audience discovers the iconic local figures.
This is an opportunity to meet Catherine Segurane. This mysterious local heroic figure reportedly saved the city from the Franco-Ottoman invasion during the siege of Nice in 1543. Still traveling back in time, musicians, actors, and singers introduce the curious to Giuseppe Garibaldi and many others.
