Built with the stark white stones from La Turbie in 1875, this Roman-Byzantine-style building houses the burial places of past sovereigns, including Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

This 11th century votive chapel is dedicated to the Principality's and Princely family's Patron Saint.

The Exotic Garden of Monaco has been a unique site since it was opened to the public in 1933. In its prestigious, open-air setting, it brings together a wide variety of “succulent” plants.

Elle sollicite historiens, restaurateurs, designers, éclairagistes, reçoit des artistes et cherche à renouveler notre regard sur la notion de patrimoine ainsi que la manière de le transmettre au public.

A stylized replica of the great outdoors, with its mountain, hill, waterfall, beach and brook, this surprising 7000 m2 park is an authentic work of art created by respecting the strictest principles of the Zen concept of compactness.
