About Monaco
Monaco's history is deeply intertwined with the Grimaldi family, who have ruled for centuries. Originally a Genoese colony, the area gained increasing autonomy under the Grimaldis starting in the late 13th century. The principality's sovereignty was formally recognized in the 19th century, leading to economic development. Monaco's strategic location on the French Riviera contributed to its growth as a popular destination. Today, it stands as a symbol of luxury and international finance.
