Monaco
is a sovereign city state, with 5
Quartiers, 10 Wards, located on the
French Riviera in Western Europe.
Bordered by France on three sides,
with one side bordering the
Mediterranean Sea; its center is
about 16 km (9.9 mi) from Italy, and
is only 13 km (8.1 mi) south east of
Nice, France. Monaco is the second
smallest country (by size) in the
world; only Vatican City is smaller.
Monaco is also the world's second
smallest monarchy,[89] and is the
most densely populated country in
the world.
According to the constitution of
1911, the principality was
subdivided into three
municipalities, each with their own
distinctive personality:
-
Monaco-Ville, the old city on a
rocky promontory extending into the
Mediterranean, known as the Rock of
Monaco, or simply Le Rocher (the
Rock);
- Monte Carlo, the principal
residential and resort area with the
Monte Carlo Casino in the east and
northeast;
- La Condamine, the southwestern
section including the port area,
Port Hercules.
The
four traditional Quartiers of Monaco
are: Monaco-Ville, La Condamine,
Monte Carlo and Fontvieille.
However, the suburb of Moneghetti,
the high-level part of La Condamine,
is generally seen today as an
effective fifth Quartier of the
Monaco, having a very distinct
atmosphere and topography when
compared with low-level La
Condamine.
