Today, the emblematic district of Fontvieille.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A neighbourhood that is popular with both residents and employees. Fontvieille has traditionally been the Principality&#8217;s industrial district, the place where workers gather. Whereas industry was prevalent in the past, today services have taken over and the overalls have been replaced by suits. <\/p>\n\n<p>Initially, the Fontvieille district occupied much less land than it does now. Like most of the Principality&#8217;s districts, Fontvieille was almost deserted at the beginning of the 20th century. Only a few houses lined the roads and railway while construction on the Prince Albert Hospital got under way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vue-fontvieille-rocher-monaco-vers-1900-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"vue-fontvieille-rocher-monaco-vers-1900\" class=\"wp-image-134185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vue-fontvieille-rocher-monaco-vers-1900-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vue-fontvieille-rocher-monaco-vers-1900-422x300.jpg 422w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vue-fontvieille-rocher-monaco-vers-1900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9 Jean-Paul Bascoul &#8211; View of Le Rocher and Fontvieille from Cap d&#8217;Ail.

In total, 220,000 m\u00b2 were reclaimed from the sea. However, the initial project was intended to create 400,000 m\u00b2. An additional difficulty in creating an offshore extension is that the sea floor reaches a depth of up to 40m off Fontvieille. A one-kilometre long dike was built to protect the building works and to define the area of the extension. The world&#8217;s deepest breakwater was therefore created.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/grands-travaux-prince-rainier-iii-debut-70-1024x760.jpg\" alt=\"grands-travaux-prince-rainier-iii-debut-70\" class=\"wp-image-134279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/grands-travaux-prince-rainier-iii-debut-70-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/grands-travaux-prince-rainier-iii-debut-70-404x300.jpg 404w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/grands-travaux-prince-rainier-iii-debut-70.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9 Jean-Paul Bascoul<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>With the completion of the dike, there was still a huge amount of construction work to be done.
