Property in La Turbie

La Turbie is a town that is located above the Principality of Monaco and is located in the mountains with a delightful panoramic view. One of the Roman trophies has been preserved here, to which there is a passage along the mountainous path La Grande Corniche. The photographs clearly show that this is a triumphal building in the form of a tower, erected in honor of the great emperor Augustus.

The name of the tower comes from the Latin - tropea, which means - a trophy. This structure was built in 6 AD. in honor of the victory of Emperor Augustus over 44 Alpine tribes, who at that time were raiding Roman communications. The triumphal tower was built by conquered slaves, and many died there during construction. The tower in its original form was 50 meters high and was visible from a very distant distance, thus showing the power and might of the Roman Empire in those days. In our time, the tower has become shorter by 15 meters, but this has not affected its beauty in any way.
