Bona Ventura

Monaco-Ville (Le Rocher) · Monaco

Rue Basse

StreetLocals' pick

One of the Rock's old lanes, in the quarter where several street names are also written in Monegasque. Look for the Madonna above No. 7, put up after Prince Honoré II's vow for the end of the 1631-1632 plague (the vow is renewed every 8 December in a procession), and the 1548 door lintel signed Piero Carbonero, a rare trace of the Spanish garrison.

Good to know

  • The lintel's Spanish line says all things pass quickly except fame and glory; it sits mid-lane, easy to miss.
  • The Institut du patrimoine runs summer guided walks of the Rock ('Aux sources de l'âme monégasque').
