The Prince's Palace at the top of the "Rock" overlooking the port of Monaco.
Even though the race is not for another month and a half, the preparations for the Monaco Grand Prix are already underway as the spectator stands are being constructed.
Princess Grace of Monaco is still remembered and present in many ways. Below is a statue of Princess Grace found in the middle of a garden in the city. Land is so scarce in the small country, that homes do not have yards or gardens, so public gardens are appreciated by the people.
The changing of the guard at the palace.
The Prince's Palace
The palace was expanded from the original medieval fortress.
The Grimaldi coat of arms hangs over the main palace entrance.
Photos were not allowed within the palace during my tour, but we did walk through this walled garden. All that can be seen from the exterior of the garden is the purple of the tree.
The Princes of Monaco have a love of the ocean and created a "temple" to the study and preservation of the ocean and sea creatures. The Oceanographic Museum is also a research facility. It has been a passion of the princes for generations.
The museum is decorated with sea creatures.
