Monaco-Ville, the Rocher – or A Roca for Monegasques – is the historic and institutional heart of the Principality, a place where tradition and modernity have met for centuries. Founded for strategic reasons, this iconic site holds Monaco's origins and the visionary legacy of its leaders.
From François Grimaldi to today, the Lords and then Princes of Monaco have, at each key moment in their history, protected, developed and promoted the Rocher, ensuring it an ever more promising future.
Let yourself be guided through an immersive walk along its centuries-old streets, where every stone tells a story. Along the way, you will discover – or rediscover – an authentic Monaco, through its architecture, traditions, anecdotes and legends, often unknown to the wider public.
An invitation to delve into the very heart of the Principality, where it all began.
