    Our tour will conclude at Place Joseph Garibaldi, a square dedicated to one of the most emblematic figures in Italian and European history. Beyond his political and military legacy, Giuseppe Garibaldi is believed by many to have been one of the great Initiates — deeply connected to the hidden traditions and symbolic language of secret societies.

    Our journey through Old Nice leads us to the cathedral — a building whose design follows more than just aesthetics. Its proportions, layout, and orientation suggest the influence of ancient principles used by master builders across Europe. Along the way, we’ll observe discreet symbols and curious alignments that hint at a deeper architectural language. These are the silent traces of a knowledge once passed down through mystery schools and sacred geometry.
