A note of history
Monaco is also famous for its iconic buildings.
The Prince's Palace
Monaco's Palais Princier dates back to 1191. It was originally built as a Genoese fortress to defend the region. It was only over the centuries that it became the official residence of the Princes of Monaco. Situated on the Rock, this symbol of Monegasque history and sovereignty is a remarkable architectural monument whose ceremonial rooms rival each other in splendour.
The Oceanographic Museum
Founded in 1910 by Prince Albert I, a pioneer in oceanography, Monaco's Oceanographic Museum is a veritable temple to the wonders of the sea. This majestic building perched on a cliff offers fascinating exhibitions and houses a famous aquarium, where you can discover the wealth of marine ecosystems.
Monaco Cathedral
Built in 1875, Monaco Cathedral, also known as Notre-Dame-Immaculée Cathedral, is the resting place of several members of the royal family, including Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace. Romanesque-Byzantine in style, it is the setting for many of the Principality's religious celebrations.
The Church of Sainte Dévote
The Church of Sainte Dévote, dedicated to the patron saint of Monaco, is a place of devotion steeped in Monegasque tradition. Nestling in a valley near the port, this small church is the setting for one of Monaco's oldest traditions: every 27 January, a boat is symbolically burnt in honour of Sainte Dévote.
The Monte-Carlo Casino
A true jewel of Belle Époque architecture, the Casino de Monte-Carlo is one of Monaco's most emblematic landmarks. Inaugurated in 1863, this monument attracts enthusiasts of gaming and elegance from all over the world, embodying the Principality's refined and luxurious art of living.
The Monaco Carob Tree
The carob tree, located on the Rock of Monaco, is an emblematic tree that is part of the Principality's natural heritage. Symbolising longevity and resilience, this hundred-year-old tree is a living witness to Monaco's history and its strong bond with nature.
The Exotic Garden
Perched high above Monaco, the Jardin Exotique is a haven of peace, famous for its exceptional collection of succulents and cacti. This enchanting site, opened in 1933, offers spectacular panoramic views over Monaco and the sea, while allowing visitors to discover rare plant species from the four corners of the globe.
In this way, the Principality, through its fascinating history and unique setting, continues to fascinate the world, combining monarchical tradition with daring modernity.

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MONOÏKOS 1297
Maintain the elegance of your parasol
Although a parasol is easy to handle and maintain, the care you give it is essential to preserve its elegance and extend its lifespan. Follow our recommendations for optimal care.
Using your parasol correctly
To ensure proper operation and avoid damage, it is important to open and close your parasol carefully. Hold the handle firmly and gently unfold the ribs, without forcing them. Make sure each section falls into place naturally. To close it, proceed slowly, following the movement of the canopy, without making any sudden movements.
Cleaning the canopy
Regularly cleaning your parasol helps preserve its beauty. Use a sponge or soft cloth dampened with water to gently clean the canopy. If stains persist, add a few drops of ammonia to a liter of warm water and rub gently. Always clean the parasol while it is open to avoid damaging the structure.
Proper Storage
Avoid exposing your parasol to the sun for extended periods, even if the canopy is UV-treated, as this can cause discoloration and weaken the material. When closing the parasol, gently wrap the canopy around the pole, from the tip to the handle, to avoid creases or permanent marks.
