Monte Carlo

Monte-Carlo ( Monegasque Munte-Carlu ) is a municipality in Monaco and with an area of ​​43.68  hectares (0.44  square kilometers ) the largest of the nine administrative districts of the principality . He is known for the casino of the same name and the annual Monte Carlo Rally . The Circuit de Monaco , where the Monaco Grand Prix is held, also runs partly through Monte-Carlo.

There are also several green areas near the casino, such as the "Jardins de la Petite Afrique", in which the botanist and garden designer Édouard François André had subtropical vegetation planted in 1881 .

Monte-Carlo is often incorrectly referred to as the capital of the city-state . However, it does not have a separate capital - the Monegasque administrative center is located in the southern district of Monaco-Ville , where numerous authorities, the Prince's Palace and the Notre-Dame-Immaculée cathedral are located. Monte-Carlo borders the boroughs of La Rousse , Larvotto , La Condamine and Ravin de Sainte-Dévote as well as the French municipality of Beausoleil .

Monte-Carlo owes its name to Prince Charles III. ( Italian Carlo III ), who established a casino in the then undeveloped area on a rock spur in the sea ( Italian monte = mountain ) in the 1860s . The name Quartier de Monte-Carlo was given to the area around the casino on July 1, 1866 (for more details on the history, see Monte-Carlo Casino ).
