World prestige and fame Monacoprovided not only by luxury boutiques and casinos, but also by the absolute security that reigns in the territory of the Principality. All security experts agree that making it safer than in Monaco is difficult. One police officer per hundred residents, a 24-hour video surveillance system throughout the territory, and in the halls of most residential buildings there is a warning and call system for the best army in the world and the ability to block all exits from Monaco for a few minutes. Not forgetting the constant security and surveillance service in hotels, casinos and all gambling and entertainment establishments.
The security of the residents and guests of Monaco is carried out by the highest ranks of the French police, which is considered one of the most modern and efficient in the world. The rule laid down by Prince Rainier is simple: "Security in Monaco must be absolute"... And this rule is not far from reality. The instruction given 519 police officers who have undergone intensive training for 2 yearsstrictly and does not tolerate exceptions: everything that can disturb the harmony of stay and residence is prohibited, begging is not a place, defiant clothes are not welcome, compliance with the rules road traffic monitored with great care. Monaco courts approve a lot of fines almost every day. The result: the level of petty delinquency is so low that it would be the dream of any Minister of Internal Affairs in another country.
As the famous Monegasque jeweler admitted: “Jewelry works are created to be worn, even on the street, and not to be kept in a safe. And this is the case of Monaco "
The Government of the Principality pays special attention the quality of their sanitary condition and medical care:
- Princess Grace Hospital Centerequipped with the most modern equipment (scanners, radiographs, IRM ...)
- Cardiology centerestablished in 1997 to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases
- Hemodialysis Center, opened in 1989, provides care for patients with renal failure
- L'IM2S - Institut Monégasque de Médecine & chirurgie Sportive opened, in February 2006, is an institution dedicated to medicine and surgery osteo-arthritis.

Armed Forces of Monaco - the aggregate of the troops of the Principality of Monaco. Since only the Vatican is smaller in area than Monaco, the armed forces of Monaco do not represent of great importance and in the event of any conflict, the country will rely on the military support of France. The current forces are managed by the Department of the Interior.
Border patrol
Some of the functions of the army are distributed across civilian structures. Border patrols on land and at sea are carried out by a special police unit "Marine and Helicopter Division", which operates both on land and at sea with the help of patrol boats and fast observation boats. Patrol boats guard the borders together with the Fire Corps and the Princely Company of Carabinieri.
Military and civil defense
There are two permanent paramilitary units in Monaco under the leadership of the Department of the Interior: Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers (Firefighters Corps) and (A company of princely carabinieri).
Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers
The corps consists of 9 officers, 25 non-commissioned officers and 96 soldiers. In total, there are 130 people in the corps (in addition to this, there are also civil servants who carry out the normal functioning of the connection). The officer corps includes the following ranks: colonel, lieutenant colonel, commandant, captain, lieutenant, sub-lieutenant. In addition, there are nine ranks of non-commissioned officers and service personnel.
The building is located in two barracks: in the districts of Condamine (fr. La Condamine) and Fontvieille (fr. Fontvieille). The corps is equipped with fire trucks, rescue equipment, as well as a number of specialized vehicles, including fire boats and special equipment for actions in mountain tunnels in case of emergency.
Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince
The company has a total of 112 people: 3 officers, 15 non-commissioned officers and 94 contract soldiers. As a rule, many of them passed military service in french armed forces... The main task of the compound is to protect the prince, and the princely palace in Monaco-Villa, located in the old district of Monaco. In addition, the corps members are involved in the protection of members of the judiciary who administer justice on behalf of the Prince of Monaco.
There are a number of special units existing within the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince, which include a motorcyclist squad (for quick response and escort of the prince's motorcade), a scuba diving squad, a first medical care, which provides first aid and ambulance services at social and sporting events, as well as a military band, which includes state trumpeters, a brass ensemble, and a small band attending official state ceremonies.
The "change of guard" ceremony outside the princely palace at 11:55 am every day attracts a large number of tourists. The ceremony is not just for tourists. The building acts as a guard for the palace and the princely family of Monaco.

Excerpt from the Armed Forces of Monaco
In the morning, all the Cathars gathered in a huge, low cave, which was located directly above their beloved - "cathedral" ... There once upon a time the Golden Mary taught KNOWLEDGE ... There gathered new Perfect ones ... There the Light was born, grew and grew stronger and Kind Peace Qatar.And now, when they returned here only as "fragments" of this wonderful world, they wanted to be closer to the past, which was no longer possible to return ... The Perfect ones quietly gave Cleansing (consolementum) to each of those present, tenderly laying their magic hands on their tired , drooping heads. Until all the "outgoing" were finally ready.
In complete silence, people alternately lay down directly on the stone floor, crossing their thin arms on their chests, and completely calmly closing their eyes, as if they were just going to sleep ... Mothers hugged their children, not wanting to part with them. A moment later, the entire huge hall turned into a quiet tomb of five hundred who fell asleep forever good people... Qatar. Faithful and Light followers of Radomir and Magdalene.
Their souls flew away in unison to where their proud, brave "brothers" were waiting. Where the world was gentle and kind. Where you no longer had to be afraid that, by someone's evil, bloodthirsty will, your throat would be cut or simply thrown into the “cleansing” papal fire.
A sharp pain clenched my heart ... Tears flowed down my cheeks in hot streams, but I did not even notice them. Bright, beautiful and pure people passed away ... of their own accord. Left so as not to surrender to the murderers. To leave the way they wanted it. In order not to drag out a wretched, wandering life in their own proud and native land - Occitania.
- Why did they do it, Sever? Why didn't you fight? ..
- Fought - with what, Isidora? Their fight was completely lost. They just chose HOW they wanted to leave.
- But they left by suicide! .. Isn't this punishable by karma? Didn't that make them suffer the same way there, in that other world?
- No, Isidora ... They just “left”, taking their souls out of the physical body. And this is the most natural process. They did not use violence. They just "left".
With deep sadness I looked at this terrible tomb, in the cold, perfect silence of which falling drops rang from time to time. It was nature that began to slowly create its eternal shroud - a tribute to the dead ... So, after years, drop by drop, each body will gradually turn into a stone tomb, not allowing anyone to mock the dead ...
- Has the church ever found this tomb? I asked quietly.
- Yes, Isidora. The servants of the Devil, with the help of dogs, found this cave. But even they did not dare to touch what nature so hospitably accepted into its arms. They did not dare to light their “cleansing”, “sacred” fire there, because, apparently, they felt that someone else had done this work for them long ago ... Since then this place has been called the Cave of the Dead. There and much later, in different years, the Cathars and Knights of the Temple came to die, their followers persecuted by the church hid there. Even now, you can still see the old inscriptions left there by the hands of people who once sheltered themselves ... A variety of names are intertwined there with the mysterious signs of the Perfect ones ... There is a glorious House of Phua, proud Trenkaveli persecuted ... There is sadness and hopelessness, touch with desperate hope ...
And more ... For centuries, nature has been creating there its stone "memory" to sad events and people who deeply touched her big loving heart ... At the very entrance to the Cave of the Dead, there is a statue of a wise owl, who has guarded the peace of the dead for centuries ...
- Tell me, Sever, the Cathars believed in Christ, didn't they? I asked sadly.
Sever was genuinely surprised.
- No, Isidora, that's not true. The Cathars did not "believe" in Christ, they turned to him, spoke to him. He was their Teacher. But not by God. You can only blindly believe in God. Although I still do not understand, how can a person need blind faith? This is the church in once again misinterpreted the meaning of someone else's teaching ... Cathars believed in KNOWLEDGE. Honesty and helping other less fortunate people. They believed in Goodness and Love. But they never believed in one person. They loved and respected Radomir. And they adored the Golden Mary who taught them. But they never made a God or a Goddess out of them. They were symbols of Mind and Honor, Knowledge and Love for them. But they were still HUMANS, however, fully giving themselves to others.
Look, Isidora, how stupidly the churchmen even misinterpreted their own theories ... They argued that the Cathars did not believe in Christ the man. That the Cathars allegedly believed in his cosmic divine essence, which was not material. And at the same time, the church says, the Cathars recognized Mary Magdalene as the consort of Christ, and accepted her children. Then, how could children be born to an immaterial being? .. Not taking into account, of course, the nonsense about the "immaculate" conception of Mary? .. No, Isidora, there is nothing truthful about the teachings of Qatar, unfortunately ... what people know is completely perverted by the "holiest" church to make this doctrine stupid and worthless. But the Cathars taught what our ancestors taught. What do we teach. But for the churchmen this was precisely the most dangerous thing. They could not allow people to know the truth. The Church was obliged to destroy even the slightest memories of the Cathars, otherwise, how could she explain what she was doing to them? .. After the brutal and universal destruction of an entire people, HOW would she explain to her believers why and who needed such a terrible crime? That is why nothing remained of the teachings of Qatar ... And after centuries, I think it will be even worse.
"A sunny place for dark people" - this is how Somerset Maugham described Monaco. One can agree with this aphorism of a famous writer, or one can argue. Nobody objects that Monaco is a “sunny place”, and 300 days of sunshine a year is a clear proof of this. But there are some doubts about the "dark people". Of course, they are in Monaco and there are many of them, but they are not the only ones who come to Monaco! In any case, I somehow would not like to classify myself as "dark people".
It is known according to statistics that Monaco receives about 5 million tourists a year! In this regard, a strange paradox arises. It is not difficult to count how many people have been there in at least the last 10 years. And even if every tenth person writes a few lines, how many memories, impressions, photographs there should be! Alas, for some reason this is not in such an expected amount. “Zagranitsa” does not even have such a country, and this gap must be filled urgently. Moreover, Monaco deserves it. Since childhood, I had a dream to see with my own eyes the smallest states in Europe. First, I visited the Vatican, then I managed to visit San Marino, and only now, after the next conference in France, the turn came to Monaco. Everyone has their own motives - someone goes to Monaco to play in a casino, someone is attracted by Formula 1 races, and someone wants to look at the beautiful life and make sure that this is possible not only in the movies. You can join strong world this, to be among the luxurious yachts, sparkling Rolls-Royces, casinos and luxury hotels where famous personalities and financial elite "nest". My desire was much more modest. In addition to my childhood hobby for stamps and coins, I really love the sea, and everything connected with it. That is why when I read and watched films about the voyages of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, I always imagined the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, where he brought all his most interesting finds. For 30 years, the world's most famous explorer of the deep sea was the permanent leader of the museum. This was probably the main driving motive for me.
On the Internet, I found a quote from Andersen's fairy tale, which perfectly answers my own question, why Monaco is not given due attention: "My state is small, but through a magnifying glass it is very clearly visible on the map." So, if you look through a magnifying glass at the map of Monaco, then on its territory of 190 hectares (of which 40 hectares have been recently reclaimed from the sea), you can see as many as four cities: Monaco - the capital of the principality, Monte Carlo, Condamine and the new Fontvieille area. Moreover, each of them is famous in its own way!
One day is enough to slowly walk the whole principality along, across and diagonally many times, but even a month is not enough to inspect everything in detail, imbued with its romantic spirit, and get acquainted with its rich history.
The history of the principality is well known. Even Virgil in his poems referred to this land as "an impregnable fortress, a quiet port, sheltered from all winds." Restless Julius Caesar gathered his fleet here, preparing for war with Pompey. In the XIII century, when these lands were under the rule of the Genoese, Francois Grimaldi managed to capture the impregnable fortress of Monaco. Disguised as a priest, he entered the fortress, managed to lull the vigilance of the Genoese guards and open the gates of the fortress, already besieged by his army. Since then, for seven centuries, the Monaco throne has invariably been passed on to the descendants of the Grimaldi family. This is an indispensable condition for the very existence of the principality: according to the treaty of 1815, the end of the dynasty means the immediate entry of France into possession of the territory of the principality.
So far this has not happened, and we are going from neighboring France to the sovereign state of Monaco. We previously left the car in Nice, as we had heard about the big problems with parking in the most densely populated country in the world, and for reliability we got on a train. It is only 30 minutes from Nice to Monaco, no documents are required, there is no customs or passport control. I remember when I traveled from Italy to San Marino, there was a border, and there were border guards for the sake of appearance. In addition to the Italian visa, another special visa was not required to enter the country, but if you ask them very much and pay $ 1, then at the border they put a San Marino visa in their passport for exotic things, and in Monaco there is nothing like that, it’s even a shame. The train stopped in a tunnel resembling a subway station. There is also information here, where in English, French, Italian and spanish They will nicely explain to you what main attractions you need to see in Monaco, provide you with detailed maps and wish you a pleasant journey.
Monaco
Coming out of the tunnel, we find ourselves in the capital of the country - the city Monacowhere lives
only about 3 thousand inhabitants! The city is picturesquely located on the leveled surface of the rocky outcropping of the Maritime Alps, built up with old buildings. The views around are stunning - on the one side of the mountains and cliffs, and on the other the exceptional blue sea! We immediately saw Monte Carlo - even if this is your first time in Monaco, you will certainly recognize the famous casino. But for some reason we did not notice Condamine, because we did not yet know that the central part of Monaco with a beautiful port is the main city of the principality.
View from the capital of Monaco to the city of Condomin (the central part with the port), smoothly turning into Monte Carlo, with the famous casino on the right side of the photo.
I don't know if there is public transport in Monaco (probably there is), but there is no need for it to get to know the country. The whole country is an open-air museum, and you can walk around Monaco in a couple of hours, so it is better to enjoy the walk, which we did. Tunnels have been cut through the rocks everywhere - like horizontal for highwaysand vertical, for pedestrians. These pedestrian tunnels with elevators are in a sense comparable to our metro. People living here have to "settle down" the stone space. They are equipped with shops, restaurants and newspaper shops. The city itself is somewhere completely ordinary, but somewhere it resembles a model of an ideal residence, where walking paths are laid between houses in thickets of exotic greenery.
The main attraction of the city of Monaco is the Prince's Palace, built on the site of a fortress erected in 1215 right on the top of the cliff. Today it serves as the official residence of the ruling Grimaldi family.
Princely Palace of Monaco
The square in front of the Palace is surrounded by a battery of cannons cast during the era of Louis XIV.
Monaco has its own army - according to the latest data, 82 people. One of them is guarding the palace!
The army of Monaco is coming! Every day at 11.55 a change of the palace guard takes place here, which is performed by carabinieri in full ceremonial uniforms. The ritual of changing the guard has not changed for centuries.
Brave Guardsmen
There is also a military band in Monaco. The military band (85 people) is three people more than the army of Monaco (82)!
Final chords of the changing of the guard
From the Princely Palace of Monaco, you can clearly see the port and behind it Monte Carlo. The green roof building is a casino.
From a height, Monaco appears as a group of tall multi-storey buildings on the very blue sea. The entire coastal part of this area is an artificially created alluvial territory.
There are many beautiful and amazing things in Monaco. First of all, it is the turquoise color of the sea and lush vegetation, palm trees on city streets and cleanliness all around.
There are many snow-white yachts parked by the azure surface of the water (wealthy townspeople are the rule, not the exception here).
Cathedral Monaco (Cathedrale de Monaco)
The main cathedral of the Principality of Monaco was built in 1875 from white stone. The cathedral stands on the site of an older church from the 13th century. The princes of Monaco, their wives and daughters are buried in the Cathedral.
Almost immediately behind the cathedral, the Oceanographic Museum appeared before our eyes - another attraction and pride of Monaco
“The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco looks like a majestic frigate in an eternal dock - a frigate that stores in its holds all the treasures of all depths. And I built it as a guarantee of the union and cooperation of all scientists from all countries of the world ”, - this is how Albert I (1848-1922) spoke of his brainchild. .
A passionate lover of the science of the sea, a traveler and a philanthropist, Albert left behind not statues and memorials in his honor, not palaces and estates (although, of course, his descendants have enough of this too), but a public castle on the top of a cliff - the Monaco Oceanographic Museum ... The first in Europe and still one of the most popular, it reveals the riches and paradoxes of the Neptune element to anyone who wishes. The most curious specimens of sea shells and corals collected by him, collections of navigational instruments, ship models and nautical charts formed the basis of the museum's exposition. In honor of its permanent leader for 30 years, the museum was named Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Currently, the museum is one of the largest centers for the study of the World Ocean.
One of the first deep-diving vehicles Jacques Yves Cousteau
On the underground floors of the museum, there are numerous aquariums, which contain underwater inhabitants. Marinarium, home to nearly 4,000 fish and marine animals from almost all seas and oceans, in 90 seawater pools, is a stunning experience for children and adults alike. You can spend hours admiring huge turtles, graceful sharks, terrible moray eels and colorful fish, as well as the exceptional beauty of the corals of the tropical seas.
Aquarium of the Oceanographic Museum
From the observation deck of the museum, an amazing panorama of the principality, the surrounding mountains and the entire Ligurian coast opens up to the Italian Riviera.
La Condamine (La Condamine)
The Condamine area arose on the site of the old port in the Bay of Hercules, practically on the site of the ancient Greek "Heraclos Monoikos" - a lot of buildings here are located on the territory reclaimed from the sea. This area is where the business life of Monaco is concentrated, and the main shopping districts are located here. La Condamine is an area of \u200b\u200bthe port, banks, shops, hotels, representative offices of companies and corporations, businesses, hotels and beaches.
One of the streets of Condamine.
If the capital is associated primarily with the Prince's Palace and the Oceanographic Museum, then Condamine, of course, with Formula 1. The main tracks of the Monaco Grand Prix are concentrated here. The Condamine - Monte Carlo ring road meanders in a dizzying serpentine road through the tight urban labyrinths, it is the shortest (3.5 km) and recognized as the most dangerous in the world. "Devil's carousel", "race of a thousand turns" - this is how its participants dubbed the competition. At breakneck speed, they have to overcome numerous 90-degree corners and even 180-degree "hairpins".
Monuments to legendary racers and their cars can be found along the track
Formula 1
An exhibition of His Highness the Prince of Monaco's personal collection of classic cars is open to anyone with an interest in cars. The exhibition includes over a hundred cars and leaves a strong impression.
Such cars are not uncommon in Monaco. In the absence of competition, you can easily ride a Ferrari.
Monaco, unlike Nice, has wonderful sandy beaches. However, those who are too lazy to go to the beach can take a dip in the pool, which is located next to the waterfront in the very center of Condom. The water in the pool is as blue and clear as in the sea, and you can sunbathe as you like!

Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo was officially founded in 1866. It houses a world famous casino, hotels, branches of banks and concerns, beaches with swimming pools and baths, an opera house, a national museum of fine arts with paintings by Renaissance masters, a philharmonic orchestra, etc.
It seems that there are no weekdays in Monte Carlo - this is one big holiday!
The city is really all about entertainment. Parks, restaurants, cafes and bars open around the clock, and most importantly, of course, the casino!
Central entrance to Casino du Monte Carlo
The first gambling house in Europe, one of the oldest and most respectable casinos in the world, has a rich history and cultural traditions. The first casino building was opened in 1862, but soon it was almost completely burned down in a fire, only the game room remained, which after the restoration was turned into a lobby through which every visitor must pass. The architect of the second building of the Casino was Charles Garnier, the author of the Opera building in Paris. In 1878 Garnier built a magnificent palace, which houses the casino and the opera house. This is how the casino building looks like, located on the square of the same name.
The center of social life of the Principality of Monaco - Place du Casino
The casino complex in Monte Carlo is a kind of European Las Vegas, lighting up the lights of its numerous gambling houses every evening. During its long history, the casino has been visited by the English king Edward VII and Sir Winston Churchill, the Egyptian king and hundreds of other celebrities. And one can only guess what human tragedies were played out under the luxurious arches of this abode of passion. Naturally, everyone who comes to Monaco wants, if not to play, then at least take a look (and better not only outside, but also inside), at such a famous place.
The entrance to the casino is conditionally free. Everyone (with the exception of children) can enter the casino and feel its atmosphere. Photo and film cameras are not allowed, therefore it is not possible to show pictures from the inside.
The casino consists of several rooms that are immersed in luxury. The walls of all the salons are hung with paintings. The opera house, called the Hall Garnier, is the most beautiful of all the halls of the Casino. It is second only to the Paris Opera in size.
At the back of the palace there are closed rooms for the privileged public. To go to the roulette, firstly, you need to show your passport, secondly, buy an entrance ticket for 10 Euros, and, thirdly, you need to look appropriate - the dress code is valid, and you will not be allowed in shorts or a mini skirt. But to the "one-armed bandits" who in a large number stand at the entrance to the casino, access is open to everyone. It was interesting for me to watch how naive (or gambling) gamblers threw their money into the machines and pulled the handle in the hope that a golden shower would be pouring now! But there was no rain, the weather in the casino was just as sunny (as in Monaco 300 days a year!), And in 30 minutes of waiting I never managed to see a single lucky one.
They say that in the history of Monte Carlo there was only one case when the casino had to return the amount lost here. Many years ago, a foreign warship was stationed in the port of Monaco. A certain naval officer of not the last rank from this ship managed to lose the entire ship's treasury in the casino. For him, it was about life or death. But before putting a bullet in his forehead, he decided to make a last desperate attempt: the ship stood in the roadstead exactly opposite the casino and turned the barrels of all the ship's guns in its direction. At the same time, an ultimatum was given to the manager: they say, either return the money, or take off. The manager had no choice but to choose the first one.
A snapshot of the visit to the casino
On the Casino Square, next to the gambling building, there is another celebrity - the fashionable Monte Carlo Hotel - Hotel de Paris. Once upon a time, Prince Yusupov, Count Shuvalov, Princess Vorontsova-Dashkova, the great dukes of the Romanov dynasty met here, and today there are few places where you can find so many diamonds inside, and chic Rolls-Royces outside, as in this place.
View from the casino to the "Hotel de Paris".
"Hotel de Paris".
Monaco is the land of Rolls-Royces. They wait for their owners everywhere - at the entrance to the hotel, at restaurants, in front of the casino.
There are also such cars in Monaco - not very prestigious, but convenient!
The casino is the symbol of Monte Carlo. Its reflection can be seen everywhere, in mirrors and in lamp posts.
The short walk through the principality of Monaco has come to an end. It is always sad to part with the places you like, but the impressions of one day spent in the Principality of Monaco will remain for a lifetime!

The army in Monaco is smaller than its national band, with a population of 35,656 as of 2006. The population density is 18,285 people. / km². This high population density is due to the fact that Monaco is a dwarf state. The average life expectancy in 2008 is 79.96 years. The population is slightly dominated by women. The ratio of the number of men to the number of women is 0.91 (according to data from 2004). 62% of the population is able to work. The literacy rate is 99%. National composition: * French - 47% * Monegasques - 16% * Italians - 16% * Others - 21%. This large category includes representatives of 125 nationalities, the largest religious group being Catholics. These include 90% of the principality's population. 82 people are under arms. Monaco is apparently the only country in the world where the size of the regular army is smaller than the size of the military band (85 people).
