Monaco’s Cathedral
A rose window and round-arched doorways rise within a pale stone cathedral front.
The story behind the place
The Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate stands in Monaco-Ville. Monaco’s tourism authority describes its Romanesque-Byzantine style and pale stone from La Turbie. The central gable rises above a rose window, while rounded arches repeat across the frontage. Look for the broad steps that lead to the entrance and the small arcades higher up. The cathedral is also a place of remembrance for Monaco’s princely family, including Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace.
