This is a ruin of a Roman centre. The French briefly reconstructed it to how it is now back in 1934. It’s €7 for adults, and free for under 18’s. I wouldn’t follow goggle maps directions as they lead you to a gate that is shut. Instead follow the signs to the trophy and there is a large air conditioned office in which you buy tickets. You can buy a combination ticket which is €16 for the Greek villa, but that is not local and around a 20 minute drive. You can climb the trophy and get great views. The stairs have handrails and the last few steps go round to take you up. There is a small museum which tells you the history of the trophy. The video is in French. Plenty of placards with information in different languages. Not much else to do except look at the trophy and small gardens surrounding it.

Impressive Roman victory monument located in the hills just above Monaco in the medieval village of La Turbie, along the old Roman road, the Via Julia. It has been extensively restored in the early 20th century, with certainly photogenic results. The monument is located on a very strategic position, with wide views over coast and highlands. The history of the monument and it’s restoration are documented in a small but informative museum. Be advised that opening hours vary with the season (see photo). When I visited early on a Sunday morning I had the site practically to myself.

It's just wow.... The trophy of Augustus was built in honor of the Roman emperor - Augustus for the decisive battle against the last Ligurian tribe. This edifice was destroyed and part of the ruins were used for the construction of the Saint-Michel church....then this monument was very well restored and now it is a pearl of the Côte d'Azur with an extraordinary view towards Monaco, Monte Carlo , a part of the Italian coast as well as the Mediterranean Sea

Good Roman era site of historical significance. However, most of it was plundered and destroyed. Lot of it was rebuilt in the early 20th century, not necessarily to exactly how it was in the first century as no one knows for sure what it looked like back then. The museum shows history but not necessarily easy to follow. Good to visit for 7 Euros if you are in La Turbie or Monaco. #11 bus takes you from Monte Carlo train station to the town of La Turbie.

The monument is very nice and all seemed well indicated but the ticket office and the website aren't coordinated. Today they decided to close the entrance because of bad weather (it didn't even rain) and the website was saying that it was open, even, it allowed you to buy tickets the same date...

Pour ceux et celles, qui comme nous aiment les nobles ''Vieilles Pierres'', je vous conseille d'aller visiter le célèbre monument à La Turbie, appelé ''Le Trophée d'Auguste''. Ce qu'il en reste, plus de deux mille ans après sa construction, est vraiment impressionnant, sachant qu'il a été transformé en donjon au Moyen-Age, dynamité par les troupes de Louis XIV, et ayant servi de carrière pour construire une partie du village !. Ce monument a été érigé à la gloire d'Auguste, 1er empereur du formidable empire romain. Il se dresse toujours fièrement dominant la mer depuis San Remo, en Italie, jusqu'au Cap d'Antibes en France, et surplombant Monaco. On comprend en le visitant le génie de bâtisseurs des Romains !. 6 euros de contribution, pour préserver un tel édifice, c'est vraiment peu et tout le monde peut participer. Merci à la guide pour ses explications détaillées.
