There are two small cannons at a scenic overview near the Place du Palais in Monaco. This is the more eastern cannon, i.e. the left one viewed from frontside.

I found little to none information about the cannons. On this cannon the year 1809 is imprinted, which might be the date of manufacturing. They don't look like replicas, and definitely are not working any more. A rather large number of cannonballs is piled up to several different-sized pyramids behind the cannons.
