About Monaco

Monaco is a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Riviera in Western Europe, bounded by France on three sides and the Mediterranean Sea on the fourth.

Monaco covers an area of just 2.02 km², featuring a rugged, mountainous terrain, a narrow strip of sea, and a small but dense network of streets and boulevards.

The principality boasts a rich cultural life with art galleries, opera productions, and the annual Monaco Grand Prix, reflecting a blend of French and Italian influences.

Founded in 1207, Monaco has been ruled by the Grimaldi family for over eight centuries, surviving periods of foreign occupation while maintaining its sovereignty.
