Monaco

The Genoese built a fortress on the site of present day Monaco in 1215. The current ruling Grimaldi family first seized temporary control in 1297, and again in 1331, but were not able to permanently secure their holding until 1419. Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with a railroad linkup to France and the opening of a casino. Since then, the principality's mild climate, splendid scenery, and gambling facilities have made Monaco world famous as a tourist and recreation center. CIA—The World Factbook

Monaco began printing their stamps in 1885. Printing of Mary stamps began in 1951.

Printing is not supported at the primary Gallery Thumbnail page. Please first navigate to a specific Image before printing.
