Fontvieille

Fontvieille ( Monegasque Funtanaveya ) is a district ( French quartier ) in the Principality of Monaco on the Côte d'Azur . It represents the southernmost part of the city-state . Fontvieille has an area of ​​0.33 square kilometers (32.95 hectares) and borders the Monegasque districts Jardin Exotique , La Condamine and Monaco-Ville as well as the French municipality Cap-d'Ail .

In contrast to the other urban districts of Monaco-Ville, Monte-Carlo and La Condamine, Fontvieille is practically completely built on artificially heaped terrain and thus represents the youngest part of the small state. In order to counter the chronic lack of building land in the very densely populated Monaco, 1966 under the rule of Rainier III. started to break new ground in the sea southwest of the Rocher , the old town of Monaco, directly on the border with France. In 1981 the then Hereditary Prince Albert (since April 6, 2005 Prince Albert II) laid the foundation stone for the new district.
