Views of Monaco



To the left you can see part of the main Monaco harbour, to the right the harbour of Fontvieille. Upon the rock which separates these two is the old town of Monaco Ville. On the left hand side of the rock you see the long buildings of the Palace of Monaco, seat of the Prince (head of state) of the Principauté de Monaco which comprises Monaco Ville and Monte Carlo. The large building on the right hand edge of the rock is the Oceanographic Museum.
