Stade Louis II’s Nine Arches
Nine tall openings give the exterior of Monaco’s stadium a distinctive rhythm.
The story behind the place
Stade Louis II is a multi-sport complex in Fontvieille, built on land reclaimed from the sea. AS Monaco’s history of the stadium identifies its nine arches as a defining feature. The present stadium began hosting the club’s matches in 1985. Look for the repeated openings above the low peach-coloured base, then the slender piers between them. This exterior arcade is only one component of a complex that also contains an athletics track and indoor sports facilities.
