Guided tour of the Rocher – At the Origins of Monaco's Soul

Because Monaco is more than a postcard image, the Heritage Institute presents At the "Au Cœur de Monaco" (At the Heart of Monaco), a series of guided tours led by heritage experts, offering the chance to discover the full diversity and lesser-known aspects of Monegasque heritage.

At the heart of Monaco: A guided tour of the Rocher

Introduction

Monaco-Ville, Le Rocher - or A Roca, as it is known by Monegasques - is the historic and institutional heart of the Principality, where tradition and modernity have met for centuries. Established for strategic reasons, this emblematic site embodies the origins of Monaco and the visionary legacy of its rulers.

From François Grimaldi to the present day, the Lords and later the Princes of Monaco have, at every key moment in the Principality's history, protected, developed and enhanced Le Rocher, ensuring its continued prosperity. 

Allow yourself to 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, many of which remain little known to the general public.

An invitation to immerse yourself in the soul of the Principality, where it all began.

Daghe!

To evoke the Mediterranean, means summoning up the extraordinary history of the many great civilisations shaped on its shores over the centuries. But it also means facing up to its future, which is more uncertain than ever. The various pressures associated with its use, population growth, pollution and global warming are all threats to its future, global warming are all threats to its unique biodiversity and ecosystem services.This brand new immersive and interactive exhibition "Méditerranée 2050" aims to encourage visitors to the Monaco ‘s Oceanographic Museum to take a new interest in the Mediterranean and become involved in its protection, through a space-time journey to 2050.

This theme in particular enabled all participants to reflect on what cultural heritage represents and thus to consider solutions for preserving it.The competition revealed some very beautiful perspectives from young people on Monegasque heritage.The public is invited to discover this free exhibition.
