How Monaco Is Governed
Monaco is one sovereign state and one municipality, with princely, national and communal institutions serving different roles. The distinction helps explain civic names encountered around the city.
Why go
The Prince’s Palace represents the head of state, while the National Council and Communal Council have different public functions. Knowing that the country and city occupy the same territory clears up why Monaco can speak of both national government and municipal affairs.
What to look for
The Prince’s Palace is the seat associated with the sovereign prince.
The National Council is Monaco’s elected legislative chamber.
The Communal Council deals with municipal affairs across the same territory.
