Monaco is second only to the Vatican as the smallest independent state in Europe. Set on the Mediterranean coast of France just a few miles from the Italian border, the principality is a constitutional monarchy and relies largely on foreign currency for an economic base. Its principal industry is tourism. The country is a narrow ribbon of coastline backed by the Alpes-Maritimes foothills, creating a natural amphitheatre overlooking the sea, with the population centred in four districts: Monaco Ville, Montecarlo, La Condomine and Fontvielle.
Monaco-Ville is set on a rocky promontory dominating the coast and has the Palace of the Grimaldi family, the oldest ruling house in Europe.
La Condamine is the area around the Port Hercules.
Monte-Carlo is the main centre for business and entertainment. Fontvieille has been set aside as an area for new light industrial and residential development.
Others talk about another fifth district named Moneghetti in the border with France with the exotic garden as most important landmark.
