Tranquil place to escape crowds in Nice. Had more or less a private stroll around the Monastery and gardens (in June!). In short: breezy, quiet, cultural, views, and free! Well worth if you’re visiting Nice.

This an old but beautifully kept place for anyone who seeks the peace of mind and internal monologue about life far away from the city chaos . The garden in may and summer is blooming with flowers and life and brings tranquility to the mind . Inside the Monastery you will find beautiful art of a man in paintings and fresques and wonderful mosaics in the windows . The smell of candles , brings the songs of the past and the silence to the heart , in which a human wonders about out place in the universe and the path we walk by .

It's impressive monastery. Especially part inner courtyard and nice music. The garden is also lovely ? Also you can put a candle in memory of your beloved ones.

The garden is beautiful with a great view on the old Nice, mont Boron and the castle hill.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
