Mareterra also enhances Monaco’s cultural infrastructure. The Grimaldi Forum has expanded by 10,000 square meters (107,640 sq ft), with 6,000 square meters (64,583 sq ft) dedicated to exhibition space, providing venues for cultural events. The district also features restored artworks, such as Alexander Calder’s “Quatre Lances” in Princess Gabriella Square, and a “Meditation Space” designed by Tia-Thủy Nguyễn.
A pedestrianized promenade connects various parts of the district, offering scenic views of the sea while linking residential, commercial, and recreational areas. Visitors can also explore The Blue Grotto, an underwater viewing area showcasing marine life thriving within the caissons.
The €2 billion (about US$2.08 billion) Mareterra project stands as a global engineering and environmental milestone, with over 300 companies and workers from more than 40 nationalities contributing to its construction. This international collaboration highlights its innovative approach to sustainable urban planning. It is not just an addition to Monaco’s land but a forward-looking vision for the future of coastal cities.
