Monaco Cathedral

Why go

The current Cathédrale Notre-Dame-Immaculée stands on the site of the earlier Saint-Nicolas church, which explains the older name still used for it. Its La Turbie stone façade is a clear landmark in Monaco-Ville. When entry is possible, look beyond the princely tombs to the Carrara marble altar and the altarpiece.

What to look for

• The white La Turbie stone façade with Roman-Byzantine features.
• The princely tombs, if the cathedral is open.
• The Carrara marble altar and Louis Bréa altarpiece inside.

Useful to know

• Start with the exterior; check current visitor access before counting on the interior.
• Respect services if they are taking place during your visit.
