Saint Devote is the patron saint and protector of the Principality. Originally from Corsica, she was one of the Christian victims of the persecution led by the Roman emperor Diocletian. According to legend, her entourage managed to recover her remains and put them in a boat, which ran aground in Monaco. The martyr, who became a saint, was buried there. The current church dates from 1870 and is surprising with its facade that rises between two cliffs, near one of the accesses to the railway station. Every January 27, the saint is commemorated by setting fire to a boat on the square.

Comme d'habitude, les explications historiques sont bien rédigées et très intéressantes.
2 sculptures à voir : une ancienne voiture de course en Bronze, Sainte dévote en Bronze dans un bateau. La décoration et les vitraux dans la chapelle valent d'y entrer... Derrière l'Eglise, il y a une rue discrète qui vaut quelques pas d'exploration...
