Interesting Facts : Monaco is the second smallest country in the world; only the Vatican City is smaller. Monaco is also the world's second smallest monarchy (principality to be more exact).


In 1911, the principality was subdivided into three municipalities:

• 1) Monaco (Monaco-Ville), the old city on a rocky promontory extending into the Mediterranean, known as the Rock of Monaco, or simply Le Rocher (the Rock), where the palace is located.
• 2) Monte Carlo, the principal residential and resort area with the Monte Carlo Casino in the east and northeast.
• 3) La Condamine, the northwest section including the port area, Port Nikolas Flores.
