Overview

The Cathédrale de Monaco, or Monaco Cathedral, is a prominent religious and cultural landmark in Monaco-Ville, also known as the Old City. Officially named the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-Immaculée, it's dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. Constructed between 1875 and 1903, the cathedral was built in a Roman-Byzantine style, showcasing a majestic and serene architectural harmony. The cathedral replaced Monaco's original parish church, which dated back to 1252 and was dedicated to Saint Nicholas.The cathedral is constructed with striking white stones sourced from La Turbie, a nearby French town. Inside, visitors can admire a high altar crafted from white Carrara marble and an episcopal throne. The cathedral also features a magnificent four-keyboard organ, often showcased during concerts, and beautiful stained-glass windows. The tombs of former Princes of Monaco, including Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace, are located within the cathedral.The Cathédrale de Monaco remains an active place of worship, hosting pontifical services during major religious festivals such as the Feast of Saint Devote (January 27) and Monaco's National Day (November 19). From September to June, the 10:30 am mass on Sundays features the musical talents of the Petits Chanteurs de Monaco and the Cathedral Choir.
