Tour de France Stage 21: Monaco's Unique History
Monaco holds a significant historical background as the home of ancient seafaring nations and Greek colonization dating back to 600 BC. The Grimaldi family from Genoa established a dynasty in 1297 still in rule. Over the centuries, Monaco changed hands, facing destruction from various invasions, and remaining a sought-after territory. Following various dominations, Monaco's sovereignty was confirmed in a treaty in 1861, yet endured WWII invasions. The Grimaldi dynasty ensures Monaco remains independent.
