    Extractions: View Enlargement [edit this] [Upload image] Our history begin in 1162 when the Emperor of the West, Frederic Barbarossa, granted maritic dominion of the region to the Republic of Genoa. In 1215 the Ghibellines (supporter of the Emperor) built a Castle on the site of the present-day Palace. On 8 jannuary 1297 the guelf Guelph Fran§ois Grimaldi (loyal to the Pope) disguised as a monk, secretly got into the place. This is commemorated on the Grimaldi coat-of-arms and in that date started the Principality of Monaco which has been ruled by the House of Grimaldi since 1297 except when under French control from 1789 to 1814. It was in 1612 that Honor© II, Lord of Monaco, took the title of Prince. Designated as a protectorate of Sardinia from 1815 until 1860 by the Treaty of Vienna Monaco's sovereignty was recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861. The Prince of Monaco was an absolute ruler until a constitution was promulgated in 1911. In July 1918 a treaty was signed providing for limited French protection over Monaco. The treaty written into the Treaty of Versailles established that Monegasque policy would be aligned with French political military and economic interests.

Practicalities Monstrosities are common on the Cote d'Azur, but nowhere - not even Cannes - can outdo MONACO . This tiny independent principality, no bigger than London's Hyde Park, has lived off gambling and catering for the desires of the idle international rich for the last hundred years. Meanwhile, it has become one of the greatest property speculation sites in the world - a sort of low-rise Manhattan-on-Sea with an incredibly dense concentration of fin-de-siecle Edwardian hotels standing in for the skyscrapers. The principality has been in the hands of the ruling Grimaldi family since the thirteenth century, and legally Monaco would once again become part of France were the royal line to die out. The current ruler, Prince Rainier, is the one constitutionally autocratic ruler left in Europe, under whose nose every French law is passed for approval prior to being applied to Monaco. There is a parliament, but with limited functions and elected only by Monegasque nationals - about sixteen percent of the population. But there is no opposition to the ruling family.

    Extractions: Monaco is an independent sovereign state located between the foot of the Southern Alps and the Mediterranean; the principality borders on several French villages: Cap-d'ail, La Turbie, Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The official language is French, although Italian and English are widely spoken. The traditional Monegasque language, "le Monegù," is spoken amongst elders and is taught in all local schools. The currency is French francs. Monegasque coins with the same face value as French coins are also used. For 700 years, the history of Monaco has been linked to that of the Grimaldi Dynasty which celebrated in 1997, the anniversary of its accession to the Principality. Benefiting from an ideal geographical location, the principality enjoys very mild winters and remarkably sunny summers, which tend not to be exceedingly hot. In fact, the results of a 60-year study show that the average temperature is 61° F, rain falls on less than 60 days per year and the sun shines seven hours a day on average. Sea temperatures vary from 52° F in the winter to over 79° F in the middle of summer. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, it is a pleasant place to live all year round. In addition, it is worth noting that ski resorts in the Alps are only an hour's drive away.

    Extractions: These are the arms of the Grimaldi family: fusily argent and gules . The supporters, two monks holding swords, recall how the disguise under which the first Grimaldi to rule over Monaco penetrated the fort in 1297. As described below, several successive families have in turn adopted the name and arms of Grimaldi. The flag of Monaco is based on the colors of these arms. Monaco was part of Provence since 975, when Guillaume, comte de Provence, expelled the Arabs from the region. In 1191, Monaco was given to Genoa by the Emperor Henry VI, a donation confirmed by Frederic II in 1220 and 1241, and by the comte de Provence in 1262. On January 8, 1297 the Grimaldi, an exiled Genoan family, seized the fortress. They lost it in 1317, regained it in 1335, and soon begin to assert their independence. They acquired Menton in 1346 and Rocquebrune in 1355, but lost everything in 1357, regained it in 1395, lost again in 1401. Monaco breaks away finally from Genoa in 1419, and the Grimaldi return as lords of Monaco.

    Extractions: History of Grimaldi Family The Rock of Monaco was a shelter for primitive populations. Traces of their occupation were discovered in a cave in the Saint-Martin Gardens. The first sedentary inhabitants of the region, the Ligures, are described as a mountain people, accustomed to hard work and an exemplary frugality. The coast and the port of Monaco were probably the sea access for the interior Ligurian population, the Oratelli of Peille. The origin of the name "Monaco" has been subject to several hypotheses. For some, the name comes from the Ligurian tribe, the Monoïkos, who inhabited the Rock in the 6th century B.C. For others, the origin comes from the Greek. In antiquity, the port of Monaco was associated with the cult of the hero Herakles (Hercules for the Romans), and his name was often linked to the expression "Herakles Monoïkos," which means Herakles alone. This version seems to bear out, as the modern name for Monaco's main port is the Port of Hercules. At the end of the 12th century B.C., the Romans occupied the region. Monaco is part of the Province of the Maritime Alps. During their occupation, the Romans erected at La Turbie, the Trophy of Augustus, which celebrates the triumph of their military campaigns. During this same period, Phoenecian

    Extractions: Monaco is taken by the Genoese. The Grimaldi lays the first stone of the stronghold which today is the Prince's Palace. Their leader, Fulco des Cassello, obtains sovereignty for all of the land surrounding the Rock of Monaco from the Emperor Henri VI. In order to attract more inhabitants, Fulco des Cassello grants great advantages to newcomers such as free land and tax exemptions. From that date forward, the Rock becomes the object of the ongoing struggle between the two parties disputing power in the Republic of Genoa, the Ghibellines, partisans of the Emperor and the Guelfs, faithful followers of the Pope. Disguised as a Franciscan monk, François Grimaldi penetrates the stronghold of Monaco. From that day on, the coat of arms of the Grimaldis will include the image of two armed Franciscan monks. The Principality celebrated its 700th anniversary in 1997, on this date which represents the first possession of Monaco by the Grimaldi family.

    Extractions: The Grimaldi's, one of the most influential Guelf families of Genova, were twice chased away from their city by the Ghibellines. In 1270, they retorted by seizing Ventimiglia, Menton and Roquebrune. After the insurrection of December 1270, the defeated Guelfs retreated to Provence, where Rainier Grimaldi, who was head of the family, began arming his fleet to retaliate. On January 8, 1297, Francois Grimaldi took power of the Monaco fortress. In the book, "Monaco, its Origins and History", the indisputable authority on Monaco's history, author Gustave Saigne relates the details of this paramount turning point in the history of the Principality : "During the night of January 8, 1297, a monk appeared at the gates of Monaco. Inconspicuously, Francois Grimaldi was let through. Barely having entered the enclosed grounds, the imposture monk threw himself over the guards, apparently few were holding watch, and a full pledged attack was launched as the large Guelf troops, which had been hiding closely behind concealed by the obscurity of the night, forced the gates before the guards could react." By his actions, Francois Grimaldi forever engraved the family name on the flanks of Monaco's rock. Until that moment, its situation had remained precarious as events of the years preceding 1297 witnessed:
