Moneghetti is a central residential district in the northwestern part of Monaco, directly bordering the French commune of Beausoleil and renowned for its elegant early 20th-century architecture. The neighborhood spans steep slopes and features a blend of historic Belle Époque villas and modern apartment buildings. A striking landmark of Moneghetti is the Sacred Heart Church (Sacré-Cœur), an architectural symbol that towers over the area. Thanks to its elevated position, the district features expansive views of Port Hercule and the Prince's Palace on the Rock. Moneghetti also serves as a crucial transportation hub, providing one of the main entrances to Monaco's underground railway station.
