Hommage des colonies étrangères au Prince Albert 1er à l'occasion de ses 25 années de règne, Stone sculpture in Monaco City, Monaco

The Hommage des colonies étrangères au Prince Albert 1er is a pale grey stone sculpture by Constant Roux, inaugurated in 1914. A tall cloaked figure stands with its back turned at the top of a rocky mound; below, a bearded face emerges from the stone beside a reclining figure, and a smaller figure in the centre reaches upward. The base plaque is inscribed in French and signed "Œuvre de Constant ROUX".

The monument was inaugurated in 1914 to celebrate Prince Albert's 25-year reign and recognize the contributions of foreign colonies to Monaco's development. This gesture reflected the international relationships the Prince cultivated during that period.

The plaque names the gift as coming from the foreign colonies to Prince Albert I for his 25 years of reign, and signs it as the work of Constant Roux. The carved group shows a cloaked figure standing with its back turned above a bearded face and a smaller figure reaching upward, with two larger figures emerging from the rock behind.

The sculpture is located in the winding streets of Monaco City near the Prince's Palace and is easily reached on foot. The area is compact, so visitors can explore several nearby landmarks during a single walk.

The base plaque names the work as a gift from the foreign colonies for Albert I's 25 years of rule and credits the sculptor Constant Roux. Look for the tall cloaked figure at the top, its back turned, above a bearded face and a small figure reaching upward.
