Cemenelum, the capital of the ancient roman province "Alpes Maritimae" was here. A benedictian monastery was founded within the 9th. century on this spot. Within the 16th century Franciscan monks settled here and constructed this church "Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption". The monastery overlooking the eastern part of Nice is known for its gardens - and its cemetery.
