taken somewhere in Monaco.

My contribution for this week’s
Monaco: Old and New
Monaco seems to have a good combination of….
old cathedrals…
and Palaces.
From near the Royal Palace visitors…
are able to view all of new Monaco.

One of our stops when in Monaco was a visit to
CathédraleNotre-Dame-Immaculée
(Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception),
also known as Saint Nicholas Cathedral
(name of the old church, demolished in 1874),
In Saint Nicholas’ Cathedral we were shown
Princess Grace (Kelly), and…
Prince Rainier’s graves.
As most of us were of that age where we knew of and like/adored
Grace Kelly the actress, we spent a few quiet moments
remembering and photographing so that
we would remember this visit.

Jo’s Monday Walk
On Saturday night or early Sunday morning I received a query from
Julz…….artist, blogger, photographer, graphic designer
regarding the location of this photo…
which I posted in my Geometrical post a week or two ago.
Thanks to Google I was able to locate a photo
which included this statue…
dedicated to Prince Albert’s 25th anniversary,
but also the cannon balls in the first photo
only a few metres in front of it.
Why I did not take at least
one contextual photo, I don’t know.
There were plenty of cannons situated…
around the Royal Palace of Monaco.
Set high above the city…
it provided some striking views…
including this one…the three country view.
In the foreground is Monaco, naturally,
the middle ground is France
and waaaaay in the background is Italy.
Three countries at once…not something an Aussie sees every day.
Now all we had to do was walk back
down a long hill, to our coach. 🙂
