Monaco (Europe)

Introduction ::Monaco

Background:

The Genoese built a fortress on the site of present day Monaco in

1215. The current ruling Grimaldi family first seized temporary

control in 1297, and again in 1331, but were not able to

permanently secure their holding until 1419. Economic

development was spurred in the late 19th century with a railroad

linkup to France and the opening of a casino. Since then, the

principality's mild climate, splendid scenery, and gambling facilities

have made Monaco world famous as a tourist and recreation center.
