The property benefits from: Independent house with no shared walls Immaculate presentation South facing Underfloor heating throughout Large private garage Extra rental parking possible nearby Exceptionally peaceful location Possibility to add a floor (planning consent applied for) Monaco Ville was originally called Monoikos in Greek, after the temple of Hercules Monoikos, located in a 6th century BC Phocaean colony. During its history, Monoikos changed hands numerous times. It became Monaco in the Middle Ages. Some of the original city walls and structures still remain. It was here that the Phocaeans from Massalia (now Marseilles) founded the colony of Monoikos in the 6th century B.C. Monoikos was associated with Hercules, who was revered as Hercules Monoecus. According to the works of Hercules, but also according to Diodorus of Sicily and Strabo, the Greeks and Ligurians reported that Hercules had passed through the region. On June 10, 1215, a detachment of Ghibellines led by Fulco del Cassello began construction of a fortress on the rock of Monaco in order to make it a strategic military position and a means of controlling the area. They also established dwellings at the base of the Rock to support the garrisons. To attract the inhabitants of Genoa and neighboring towns, they offered land and exempted newcomers from taxes. On January 8, 1297, François Grimaldi, a descendant of Otto Canella, consul of Genoa in 1133, took over the fortress. Although he had a small army, he disguised himself as a Franciscan monk to enter, before opening the gates to his soldiers. This episode gave rise to his nickname, Malizia ("malice"). This is why today the arms of Monaco bear two Franciscans armed with a sword. The name "Monaco-Ville" is misleading: it is not a city or a village per se, but a historical and statistical district. It houses most of the country`s political and judicial institutions: the town hall, the seat of government, the National Council (Monaco`s parliament), the Municipal Council and the courts. It is also part of Monaco`s architectural cultural heritage. The Palace of the Prince of Monaco (Palais), the Cathedral of Monaco, and the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco are located here. The neighborhood is located at 43°44`15" North, 7°24`55" East (43.7375, 7.415278). Its population is estimated at 1,151 inhabitants. The neighborhood, also known loosely as "le Rocher" or "the Rock", is one of the four traditional districts of Monaco, the others being La Condamine, Monte Carlo, and Fontvieille. However, in current administrative terms, it is one of ten districts. Monaco Ville is an old fortified sector situated on a rocky promontory extending into the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient name of the city of Monaco was Monoecus. The changing of the guard takes place every day outside the Palace at 11.55 am. Next to the Palace is the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, a neo-Romanesque-Byzantine style building that houses the tombs of many of the princes, such as those of Princess Grace or Prince Rainier III. Monaco-Ville boasts the world-famous Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, which was founded in 1910 by Albert I, who came under the direction of Jacques-Yves Cousteau. One of the oldest buildings in the Principality, the Chapel of Mercy, in French Chapelle de la Misericorde, built in 1639, is famous for being the starting point of religious processions by the inhabitants on the eve of Good Friday. Despite being located in one of the most densely populated countries, Monaco ville remains a medieval village, as most of its streets are pedestrianized causing a virtual silence after sunset. However, countless tourists visit Monaco and the Palace Square, only local vehicles are allowed to climb the rock and motorcycles are forbidden after 22.00. The Principality of Monaco stretches along the Mediterranean, located in the southeast of France about 20 km northeast of Nice and 8 km from the border between France and Italy. It has long since become a playground for the rich and famous, thanks to the location of its port, its casinos and its lack of taxation. Since 1297, with some interruptions, it has been ruled by the Grimaldi house, the oldest reigning house in Europe. Albert II is the current sovereign, having acceded to the throne after the death of his father, Rainier III. The enthronement of Prince Albert II took place in this district on November 19, 2005.

The property benefits from: Independent house with no shared walls Immaculate presentation South facing Underfloor heating throughout Large private garage Extra rental parking possible nearby Exceptionally peaceful location Possibility to add a floor (planning consent applied for) Monaco Ville was originally called Monoikos in Greek, after the temple of Hercules Monoikos, located in a 6th century BC Phocaean colony. During its history, Monoikos changed hands numerous times. It became Monaco in the Middle Ages. Some of the original city walls and structures still remain. It was here that the Phocaeans from Massalia (now Marseilles) founded the colony of Monoikos in the 6th century B.C. Monoikos was associated with Hercules, who was revered as Hercules Monoecus. According to the works of Hercules, but also according to Diodorus of Sicily and Strabo, the Greeks and Ligurians reported that Hercules had passed through the region. On June 10, 1215, a detachment of Ghibellines led by Fulco del Cassello began construction of a fortress on the rock of Monaco in order to make it a strategic military position and a means of controlling the area. They also established dwellings at the base of the Rock to support the garrisons. To attract the inhabitants of Genoa and neighboring towns, they offered land and exempted newcomers from taxes. On January 8, 1297, François Grimaldi, a descendant of Otto Canella, consul of Genoa in 1133, took over the fortress. Although he had a small army, he disguised himself as a Franciscan monk to enter, before opening the gates to his soldiers. This episode gave rise to his nickname, Malizia ("malice"). This is why today the arms of Monaco bear two Franciscans armed with a sword. The name "Monaco-Ville" is misleading: it is not a city or a village per se, but a historical and statistical district. It houses most of the country`s political and judicial institutions: the town hall, the seat of government, the National Council (Monaco`s parliament), the Municipal Council and the courts. It is also part of Monaco`s architectural cultural heritage. The Palace of the Prince of Monaco (Palais), the Cathedral of Monaco, and the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco are located here. The neighborhood is located at 43°44`15" North, 7°24`55" East (43.7375, 7.415278). Its population is estimated at 1,151 inhabitants. The neighborhood, also known loosely as "le Rocher" or "the Rock", is one of the four traditional districts of Monaco, the others being La Condamine, Monte Carlo, and Fontvieille. However, in current administrative terms, it is one of ten districts. Monaco Ville is an old fortified sector situated on a rocky promontory extending into the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient name of the city of Monaco was Monoecus. The changing of the guard takes place every day outside the Palace at 11.55 am. Next to the Palace is the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, a neo-Romanesque-Byzantine style building that houses the tombs of many of the princes, such as those of Princess Grace or Prince Rainier III. Monaco-Ville boasts the world-famous Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, which was founded in 1910 by Albert I, who came under the direction of Jacques-Yves Cousteau. One of the oldest buildings in the Principality, the Chapel of Mercy, in French Chapelle de la Misericorde, built in 1639, is famous for being the starting point of religious processions by the inhabitants on the eve of Good Friday. Despite being located in one of the most densely populated countries, Monaco ville remains a medieval village, as most of its streets are pedestrianized causing a virtual silence after sunset. However, countless tourists visit Monaco and the Palace Square, only local vehicles are allowed to climb the rock and motorcycles are forbidden after 22.00. The Principality of Monaco stretches along the Mediterranean, located in the southeast of France about 20 km northeast of Nice and 8 km from the border between France and Italy. It has long since become a playground for the rich and famous, thanks to the location of its port, its casinos and its lack of taxation. Since 1297, with some interruptions, it has been ruled by the Grimaldi house, the oldest reigning house in Europe. Albert II is the current sovereign, having acceded to the throne after the death of his father, Rainier III. The enthronement of Prince Albert II took place in this district on November 19, 2005.

Local information Featuring panoramic sea views and set overlooking the coast of Monaco and the Italian Riviera this stunning property profits from an ideal setting for the principality of Monaco. Roquebrune Cap Martin is a charming location complete with a medieval village surrounding a fortified castle plus the seaside resort of Carnolès, all set between Monaco and Menton. With exceptional scenery, lush Mediterranean vegetation and historic routes, Roquebrune Cap Martin has drawn artists and aristocracy alike, the 1920s and 30s saw the construction of notable buildings including Coco Chanel`s villa La Pausa. The area comprises several villages and residential areas in addition to the perched village and chateau, Property ranges from original village houses, Belle époque properties and contemporary luxury villas. Roquebrune Cap Martin lies approximately 6.5km east of Monaco and approximately 36 km from Nice International airport. History In pre-Roman times the area was settled by the Ligurians. Traces of their language can be still found in the local dialect. The commune (originally known as Roccabruna) was founded in 971 by Conrad I, Count of Ventimiglia, in order to protect his western border. In 1355, Roccabruna fell under the control of the Grimaldi family of Monaco for five centuries, during which time the castle was strengthened. In 1793, Roquebrune became French for the first time, changing the name from the original Roccabruna, but it was returned to Monaco in 1814. In 1804 Napoleon built a road along the coastline. This road connected the village to the rest of the Côte d`Azur, and eventually led to its merger with the smaller town of Cap-Martin. In 1848, there was a revolution related to the Italian Risorgimento, with the result that Roccabruna and Menton became free cities under the protection of the Savoy Prince. They hoped to be part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, but this did not occur, and the towns after two years of independence were put under Savoyan administration (but nominally still under the Prince of Monaco). They remained in a state of political limbo from 1849 until they were finally ceded to France by a plebiscite in 1861. Giuseppe Garibaldi, who promoted the union of the County of Nice to Italy, complained that the plebiscite was not done with "universal vote" and consequently Roccabruna was requested by Italian irredentists. From the middle of the 19th century, with the construction of the Marseille Ventimiglia railway line, this stretch of coast also became a magnet for well-known personalities as a holiday home. Elisabeth of Austria spent several months of the last years of her life from 1894 to 1897 at the Hôtel du Cap Martin. Eugénie, widow of Napoleon III, owned a villa here. As a consequence of these irredentism ideals, during World War II all the coastal area between Italy and Monte Carlo was occupied and administered by the Kingdom of Italy until September 1943. The area became fashionable in the 1920s and 1930s leading to the construction of several notable buildings including Coco Chanel`s La Pausa on Cap Martin, and Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici`s E-1027. The Irish poet and Nobel Laureate William Butler Yeats died in the Hôtel Idéal Séjour in the neighboring town of Menton on January 28, 1939. In a letter to his wife, Yeats expressed his wish to be buried in a cemetery in Roquebrune for one year and then to be exhumed and reburied in Drumcliff, County Sligo, Ireland. However, his exhumation was delayed until September 1948 at which point they could no longer locate his remains. According to one account, the French diplomat sent to oversee the reburial, Bernard Cailloux, said that it was "impossible to return the full and authentic remains of Mr Yeats" and proposed asking Dr Rebouillat, the local sworn pathologist, "to reconstitute a skeleton presenting all the characteristics of the deceased". The remains of several other individuals, including an Englishman named Alfred Hollis, were assembled in a coffin and sent to Ireland for reburial. The entire affair was handled with secrecy on both the part of the French delegation responsible for the burial, and the poet`s family, so as not to elicit outrage from the Irish public. The incident was not publicly disclosed until the private archives of French diplomat Jacques Camílle Paris were turned over to the Irish Embassy in Paris in June 2015. The story was older than that, and was disputed by the family of the poet in a letter to The Irish Times in 1988.
