The Town Hall is Monaco's oldest institution (13th century). 800 people work in 20 municipal departments representing a wide range of skills - Social; Culture; Events; Living Environment and Sustainable Development; Sport and Leisure; Youth; Heritage and Traditions; Digital Transition. The building it currently occupies dates back to the 16th century, and has in turn housed a private residence, an educational college, a barracks and various institutions (Civil Court, National Council and, of course, Monaco Town Hall).
The traditional Monegasque Language Competition, organized by the Monaco City Council, will pay tribute to Prince Rainier III on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. This competition was created under the reign of Prince Rainier III who was keen to pass on the Monegasque language to the younger generations, making it compulsory to learn it from primary school onwards.
