A treasure of art and architecture, Monaco's sumptuous cathedral has hosted the Principality's greatest events.

This neo-Romanesque cathedral was built in 1875 with the white stones of La Turbie, on the site where the church of Saint Nicolas once stood. Inside, a magnificent altarpiece painted by Louis Bréa represents Saint Nicolas. The altar in white Carrara marble inlaid with mosaics gives a glimpse of the Pietà of the White Penitents. In the crypt, the tombs of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III are located in the left part of the transept. The choir organ was built in Italy in 1976.

One of the amazing jewels in Monaco's crown.

Sitting high up on the hill, this beautiful church has some exceptional paintings.

It was amazing to see the grave site for Princess Grace and and her husband.

The view is exceptional from here and do yourself a favour and walk up through the Princess Grace Gardens.

After your visit here, you should head over to the Palace which is just next door.

The whole area is well worth a visit.

O frumoasa catedrala. Dupa ce colinzi stradutele intotochiate si inguste ale vechiului oras Monaco, descoperi aceasta grandiaoasa constructie slavind pe veci acea stanca!
