# The Marble Cross

Nice, France

The Marble Cross and the nearby Pius the Seventh column are two separate outdoor monuments. One recalls fragile Renaissance diplomacy through a heavily rebuilt cross; the other marks a pope’s two passages through Nice, the first in captivity and the second after his release.
