Nice Vieille Ville in the '50s.
A high-angle photograph from the 1950s captures the dense cityscape of Nice’s Vieille Ville. A sea of terracotta-tiled roofs fills the frame, creating a complex texture of light and shadow from which numerous chimneys emerge. Two prominent towers rise above the tightly packed buildings: a shorter bell tower with a small cupola and a taller, square clock tower. Strong, direct sunlight creates high contrast, highlighting the rooftops and casting deep shadows in the unseen streets below as the city fades towards a tree-covered hill on the horizon.
