The Beauty of Monaco's Architecture in 9 Buildings

Monaco has a lot of stunning buildings, despite its tiny size. From stately Belle Époque structures to fresh modernist architecture, these are Culture Trip's top ten buildings that showcase Monaco in all its beauty.


Saint Nicholas Cathedral

Saint Nicholas Cathedral was erected from 1875–1903 in exquisite light limestone from La Turbie, located in France, and lies within the ancient historic neighborhood 'Monaco Ville' of Monaco. Inside, you'll find a stunning Carrara marble altar, as well as the final resting place of Princess Grace (Kelly) and other members of the royal Grimaldi family.

If you arrive in Monaco by train, you will get a firsthand look at the architecture of the principality's railway station. If not, certainly stop by for a look. Because of Monaco's rugged terrain, the station was constructed into the hillside itself, combining rock and concrete in the same manner the principality does: old with new.

Monaco's Oceanographic Museum is a magnificent Baroque Revival structure perched on a cliff face overlooking the Mediterranean. It took 11 years to complete, and the stone used came from the same quarry (La Turbie in France) as Saint Nicholas Cathedral. Try to gain a profile perspective of this skyscraper, as seen in the photo below, to appreciate its full aspect.

The Hexa Grace on the roof of the Grimaldi Forum may be seen from just outside the Monte-Carlo Casino. It's Victor Vasarely's (1979) spectacular masterpiece overlooking the sea. The colors glisten in the sunlight and add a new depth to the principality's most elaborate structures.


Hermitage Hotel

There are many beautiful hotels in Monaco, but one of our favorite features of the Hermitage Hotel is a section of the roof (called the Eiffel dome). The Hermitage Hotel, built in the early 1900s, provides guests to Monaco with a really opulent experience, and even if you can't see inside, the gorgeous front is a sight to see.


Odeon Tower




The Odeon Tower, a skyscraper in Monaco, was completed in 2015. Prince Rainer III imposed a prohibition on high-rise construction projects in the 1980s; however, this was repealed in 2008. Alexandre Giraldi, an architect, and Alberto Pinto, an interior designer, are behind the designs both outwardly and within.


Louis II Stadium

The Monaco national football team plays in the Louis II Stadium, which is located in the Fontvieille neighborhood of Monaco. It has a highly distinctive design since the ground on which it is built was really reclaimed from the sea. The archways are pretty magnificent and a fantastic sight from the 'ground level' path.



Monte-Carlo Casino

Monaco's casino is the principality's most recognizable structure. Its construction began in 1863, and it has played an important part in Monaco's past and present ever since. Charles Garnier, the casino's architect, is also famed for his work on the Palais Garnier Opera House in Paris, and the casino's front does not disappoint.
