Nice, France: Monument du Centenaire

This one is right along the waterfront of Nice.You've probably guessed its purpose by the title.

Indeed, it celebrates the 100th anniversary of Nice's inclusion into France. That moment came in 1793, but it took an extra three years to get everything done. So this became part of the landscape in 1896. The top is a winged symbol that swears allegiance to France.
