This stunning photograph, taken in 1925, captures the Palace in all its grandeur with the statue of Prince Albert I in the foreground. Prince Albert I, who ruled Monaco from 1889 to 1922, was a visionary leader who modernized the principality and expanded its territorial waters. He was also an accomplished scientist, explorer, and environmentalist, known for his groundbreaking research on oceanography and meteorology.

This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of Monaco's most famous landmarks. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Monaco was a thriving principality ruled by a visionary leader and protected by its formidable fortress.
