[edit]

Situated in an area where the Alps drop into the Mediterranean Sea, Les Moneghetti has steep inclines.[2]

Its contains the Church of the Sacred Heart (French: Eglise du Sacré-Cœur des Moneghetti), built between 1926 and 1929 as a Jesuit church, which became the neighborhood's parish church in 1965, and which is also the headquarters of the Monegasque national scouting organization AGSM.

Monaco's only railway station, the Monaco-Monte-Carlo station (French: Gare de Monaco-Monte-Carlo) is located in Les Moneghetti, and is served by scheduled trains of the French state-owned railway company SNCF, on the Marseille–Ventimiglia railway line.

Monaco's small military garrison, the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince, also has barracks in Les Moneghetti.[3]

The area is also home to the International University of Monaco business school.
