Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Border town in Alpes-Maritimes, France
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin extends from the Mediterranean coastline to an elevation of 300 meters, featuring varied landscapes between Monaco and Menton.
The settlement originated in 971 when Count Conrad I of Ventimiglia established a fortress to protect the western border of his territory.
The local architecture combines French and Italian influences, reflecting centuries of cross-border exchanges between these Mediterranean cultures.
The commune provides direct access to pebble beaches from April through October, with numerous pathways connecting coastal areas to elevated sections.
The territory remained under Monaco's control for five centuries until 1848, when it became an independent city before joining France in 1861.
