«Monaco and Spain: five centuries of shared history» exhibition

From 25 May to 13 June, the Royal Botanical Garden becomes a space where diplomacy can be read through documents and historical traces: the exhibition «Monaco and Spain: five centuries of shared history» opens here to mark the 150th anniversary of the establishment of official relations between the two countries.

The project, prepared in collaboration with the Embassy of Monaco in Spain, traces the long history of contacts between the Principality and Spain. Rather than a dry chronicle, it presents archives, letters and testimonies from which a vivid picture of centuries of interaction gradually emerges.

The exhibition tour revisits key episodes in their shared history: moments when interests coincided, political and cultural ties, as well as dialogue between the ruling houses, which over time became a constant part of bilateral relations.

The exhibition shows how a continuous line of interaction is woven from isolated historical fragments, intertwined within a broader European context.
