Monte Carlo, Monaco Destination Guide Monte Carlo, Monaco Destination Guide Overview of Monte Carlo Monte-Carlo, unofficial capital of glamorous and lavish Monaco, is the epitome of wealth and glamour. The capital is a blend of towering high rise buildings and narrow windy roads, boasting the legendary Monte-Carlo Casino, luxury hotels, elegant nightclubs and restaurants, views of the sparkling Mediterranean and of course, the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix. Established in 1866, Monte-Carlo was named in honour of Prince Charles III and is the richest of the country's four quarters. For years, Monte-Carlo has been the playground of the rich and famous, from Hollywood starlets to royalty from all corners of the globe. It is also one of Europe's foremost holiday resorts, but certainly not for the humble backpacker. The city has several attractions, such as the Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium, the Monaco Cathedral and the Prince's Palace, several gardens, and other attractions centred on the country's famous Royal Family, such as an exhibition of HSH Prince of Monaco's private collection of classic cars. There are many interesting diversions for the adventurous, such as catamaran trips, watersports, yachting and the Azur Express tourist train that links up the city's attractions, accompanied by multi-lingual commentary. Worth exploring is the Old Town, with its attractive City Hall, and of course when one is bored of sightseeing, the best diversion (and the cheapest) is merely to settle down with a fancy cocktail and people-watch in this fascinating and glamorous part of the world.

Historical Places Information 1. Monte Carlo Casino’s Building Officially named "Casino de Monte-Carlo", the Monte Carlo Casino is a gambling and entertainment complex located in Monaco. It includes a casino, the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo, and the office of Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. The Casino de Monte-Carlo is owned and operated by the Société des bains de mer de Monaco, a public company in which the Monaco government and the ruling family have a majority interest. The company also owns the principal hotels, sports clubs, foodservice establishments, and nightclubs throughout Monaco. The idea of opening a gambling casino in Monaco belongs to Princess Caroline, a shrewd, business-minded spouse of Prince Florestan I. Revenues from the proposed venture were supposed to save the House of Grimaldi from bankruptcy. The ruling family's persistent financial problems became especially acute after the loss of tax revenue from two breakaway towns, Menton and Roquebrune, which declared independence from Monaco in 1848 and refused to pay taxes on olive oil and fruit imposed by the Grimaldis.

  • Religion and the Investiture of the Monarch: the European Context
    Religion and the investiture of the Monarch: The European context NSS researcher Barry Thorpe has found no other investiture of a European monarch with such overt religious, far less sectarian, associations as in the UK. Denmark Last coronation: 1849 In 1660 the coronation ritual was replaced with a ceremony of anointing, where the new king would arrive at the coronation site already wearing the crown, where he was then anointed. This rite was in turn abolished with the introduction of the Danish Constitution in 1849. Today the crown of Denmark is only displayed at the monarch's funeral, when it sits atop their coffin. The present Queen, Margrethe II, did not have any formal enthronement service; a public announcement of her accession was made from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace, with the new sovereign being acclaimed by her Prime Minister at the time (1972), Jens Otto Krag, then cheered with a ninefold "hurrah" by the crowds below. Liechtenstein No coronation Liechtenstein does not use a coronation or enthronement ceremony, although Prince Hans Adam II did attend a mass by the Archbishop of Vaduz, followed by a choral event. Luxembourg No coronation The Grand Duke of Luxembourg is enthroned at a ceremony held in the nation's parliament at the beginning of his or her reign. The monarch takes an oath of loyalty to the state constitution, then attends a solemn mass at the Notre-Dame Cathedral. Netherlands No coronation. Inauguration With the absence of any religious hierarchy within the Dutch Reformed Church, there is no senior religious prelate to crown the new monarch, unlike in Great Britain under the Archbishop of Canterbury.

  • Schloss Neuschwanstein
    Schloss Neuschwanstein Neuschwanstein Castle, which King Ludwig II built on a rugged hill against a backdrop of picturesque mountain scenery, was prompted by the idea of rebuilding an existing ruin "in the authentic style of the old German knights' castles", as he wrote in a letter to Richard Wagner. Seven weeks after the death of King Ludwig II in 1886, Neuschwanstein was opened to the public. The shy king had built the castle in order to withdraw from public life – now vast numbers of people came to view his private refuge. Today Neuschwanstein is one of the most popular of all the palaces and castles in Europe. Every year 1.3 million people visit "the castle of the fairy-tale king". In the summer around 6,000 visitors a day stream through rooms that were intended for a single inhabitant. Throne Room The Throne Room of Neuschwanstein resembles a Byzantine church. Ludwig II had actually given instructions for it "to be based on the Munich All Saints Church" as well as "St Sophia in Constantinople" (Hagia Sophia in Istanbul). The throne, which was to stand like an altar in the apse of the hall, was never built. Ludwig II had expectations of his kingly role that could scarcely be met; this is vividly illustrated by the Throne Hall's many pictures. The Throne Room in the form of a Byzantine church looks as if it is decorated with precious stones and mosaics. The pillars are however made of coloured stucco and the "mosaics" are paintings. Ludwig himself wrote: "The illustrations have been selected in accordance with the elevated purpose of the Throne Room, which is to proclaim that the Throne is the source of authoritative law-making".

History of lying in state The concept of lying in state has been known from antiquity. In England in historical times, dead bodies of people of all classes “lay” – that is, were prepared and dressed (or “laid out”) and, placed in the open coffin, would lie in a downstairs room of the family house for two or three days whilst the burial was arranged.1 Friends and relations of the deceased could then visit to pay their respects.

FOCUS Monaco Heads Towards New explorations! Last April, H.S.H. Prince Albert II announced the launch of the MONACO EXPLORATION PROJECT, thus reviving the long tradition of missions carried out in the four corners of the planet with the purpose of advancing science, extending knowledge, and thus contributing to shaping a sustainable future. This project fits perfectly with the policy of ocean conservation carried out by the Principality… 4 The goal of this new journey? To reconcile humanity and the sea This is a major challenge which ten international scientists have taken up for this offshore survey campaign, which will last from 2017 to 2020. Some 120 years after the great maritime expeditions led by his great- great-grandfather Prince Albert I in the last century, it is with great emotion that H.S.H. Prince Albert II signaled the start of this oceanographic campaign around the world. Retracing the footsteps of his ancestor will make it possible to compare past and present data on marine and coastal ecosystems in order to determine their health. Another key challenge will be to raise public awareness, not just of these studies, but also of the threats that face the oceans today.

Drop in via cruise ship, helicopter (seven minutes from Nice), or via curvaceous mountain roads. Monaco is tiny, about 2sq km, although desperately trying to grow. A 6ha waterfront commercial/residential reclamation development at Larvotto is in the pipeline. Each May, the throaty grunt of F1 engines is background music to both day and nightlife as the principality becomes a Grand Prix racetrack. Summer has a full program of festivals, alfresco dining and open-air cinema. However, the glue that holds the place together is the Grimaldi legend. Princess Grace, the Hollywood star who married Prince Rainier III in 1956 and died tragically in 1982, has goddess status. The streets are named for Grace and her family, and a revamped rose garden in her name will flourish again this year.
