Hominid existence at the Rock of Monaco dates back to about 300,000 BCE. Mountain-
dwelling Ligurians, who emigrated from their native city of Genoa, Italy are the first recorded
inhabitants. Phocaeans Greeks settled in the 6th Century BCE and fell under the rule of
Rome in the time of Julius Caesar and fell to the Saracen and barbarian tribes in 476 CE. and
returned to Ligurian possession by the 11th Century. On June 10, 1215, a detachment of
Genoese Ghibellines began the construction of a fortress atop the Rock of Monaco with the
blessing of the Holy Roman Empire. This date is often cited as the beginning of Monaco's
modern history. François Grimaldi seized the Rock of Monaco in 1297; the area remained
under the control of the Grimaldi family to the present day, except when under French
control from 1793 to May 17, 1814. The Prince of Monaco was an absolute ruler until a
constitution was promulgated in 1911. It was revised by Prince Rainier on 17 December 1962
and, again, by Prince Albert II om 2 April 2002 to clarify the succession. Human rights are
enumerated beginning in Article III (Freedoms and Basic Rights,) conforms with the 1948
Universal Declaration of Human Rights of which Monaco is a signatory and are detailed
below. A full English translation of Monaco's Constitution is not available, however, for the
original French text, click here.
