[Sunting] Sejarah

Monaco derives its name from the nearby Greek colony, Monoikos, founded in the 6th century BCE by the Phoceans. According to an ancient myth, Hercules passed through the Monaco area. A temple was constructed there by Phoceans, the temple of Hercules Monoikos (Μόνοικος means single house or single temple).

Monaco was re-founded in 1215 as a colony of Genoa. Monaco has been ruled by the House of Grimaldi since 1297, when François Grimaldi (aka: Malizia) seized the fortress protecting the famous rock while dressed up as a Franciscan monk (monaco in Italian); the only exception to this was from 1793 to 1814, when Monaco was under French control. The Congress of Vienna designated Monaco as a protectorate of Sardinia from 1815 until 1860 when the Treaty of Turin in 1860 ceded to France the surrounding county of Nice and Savoy. During this time there was unrest in the towns of Menton and Roquebrune 1848 which declared independance, hoping for annexation by Sardinia. The unrest continued until the ruling Prince gave up his claim to the two towns (some 95% of the country) to France in return for 4 million francs. This transfer and Monaco's sovereignty was recognised by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861.
