map of Monaco
An overhead map of Monaco

Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco, is a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Rivier, a few kilometeres west of the Italian region of Liguria, in Western Europe, on the Mediterranean Sea. The map in specific is set on the Rock of Monaco, part of Monaco City, one of the 4 quarters of Monaco.
