"Nissa la bella" joins the list of world sites registered as World Heritage by Unesco.

The decision has just been taken in Fuzhou, China, where the 44th session of the Unesco World Heritage Committee is being held, responsible for including new places in this long inventory.

To accompany the news, this Tuesday afternoon, twelve cannon shots were fired, reports Nice-Matin.

"The history of Nice, both rooted and open, Mediterranean and Alpine, European and cosmopolitan, has produced a unique architecture and landscape, a model for a large number of other cities in the world", welcomed the Mayor Christian Estrosi.

"It is a historic event, unique in our history by its dimension and its impact," he reacted on Twitter.

Nice, our city that we love so much, is listed as a World Heritage Site by @ UNESCO.


It is becoming, for the entire planet, one of the reference cities of the world heritage.

It is a historical event, unique in our history by its dimension and its impact.

The city has been knocking on Unesco's door for years: it is an ambition that Christian Estrosi had been carrying since his election in 2008, reports France 3 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The city's candidacy in 2012 concerned the urban complex of nearly 600 hectares which, from 1760 to the present day, has played an exclusive role in the urban development of the Côte d'Azur capital, according to the channel.
