Prince Charles III of Monaco was born on December 8th, 1818 in Paris, as Charles Honoré Grimaldi. He was not the very first Prince of Monaco; however, many things in the Principality began with him.
Walking through the picturesque streets of the Principality, you may have passed through the Terraces of the Casino boasting a breathtaking view of the endless sea, the Hercule Port and the colourful mosaic on the roof of the Auditorium Rainier III, designed by Victor Vasarely in 1979.
