Hi, I'm an admin for a group called What's that picture?, and we'd love to have this and any other mystery images added to the group!

Cours Saleya, Nice?
Chandler Moulton said:
I'd say isematics is on to something. The main thing I see the the third floor has been converted(?) from a flat facade to a cover walk way. This a pretty big change for an old building. But I'd say isemantics has got it. Peace Chandler

It is the "Palais de la Préfecture", formerly "Palais du Gouverneur" or "Palais des rois sardes", cours Saleya in Nice (FR), before the last architectural intervention in 1905. See: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_de_la_Pr%c3%a9fecture_des_Al... and commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saleya6.JPG where you can find a lot of common details.

The pair of statues on either side of the arch, and the fact that the square is still used for a market lead me to support the identification by isemantics and cercamon. The fact that this is labeled 1167 and that 1166 [ www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/4210442909/ ] has been identified as in Nice is more supporting evidence.

This is Monte Carlo, Monaco. The building with the two towers is the Casino. The small tower in the foreground is part of the old fortifications on the Rock of Monaco that has been incorporated into the Fort Antoine Theatre.

Thanks for pointing out the historic features as well as for pinning down the location so quickly. What a dramatic contrast between then & now.

This is the landward facade of the Casino at Monte Carlo. This side of the building has been altered since this photo was made, but it is still recognizable. Here's a modern photo from Wikimedia Commons. A modern photo of the seaward facade,largely unchanged, shows the distinctive towers and roof more clearly.

Aye, it's le Casino de Monaco.
