Villa Nobel
The last home of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prizes, where he wrote the will establishing the prizes. It is now a memorial museum.
Villa Nobel is an Oriental-style Moorish villa. Alfred Nobel lived here from 1891, kept a laboratory here, and died here in 1896. He also wrote the will establishing the Nobel Prizes during his time here. Today the villa is open as a museum, presenting Nobel’s life, his inventions (including explosives) and the history of the Nobel Prizes. The garden contains plants that Nobel loved.
